Employer Health Biosensor Cartoon – Fun Friday

We’re back again with our Fun Friday series of posts A little humor to start off your weekend. Although, we always try to include a simple lesson, insight or perspective with the cartoon as well. This week we tapped into another Dilbert cartoon which highlights the health sensor craze. The irony of this cartoon is that the reality is the opposite. Most employees think that their employer wants all this data to screw them over (or some other negative thing) and most employers do very little with the data. The most advanced companies are trying to leverage it for lower insurance rates. Not much more from my experience. I wouldn’t be so generous to employers to say that they do it because they care so much about their employees health either. They do care about their employees health because absent employees hurt business. Plus, unhealthy employees cost employers a lot of money. Too cynical for a Fun Friday? Maybe, but the cartoon is still pretty funny. Long story short, we have a lot of work to do to make health data tracking something that everyone wants to do.
