Abstract

This article investigates the disparities in health outcomes among 415 employees from diverse demographic groups within the workplace. By analyzing data on health metrics across various demographics, we identify significant gaps and their contributing factors, such as socio-economic status, Tribe, gender, and access to resources. Our study emphasizes the critical need for health equity, aiming to eliminate these disparities through comprehensive HR policy interventions. We propose actionable strategies for HR departments, including targeted wellness programs, inclusive health benefits, and continuous education on equity practices. Our research underscores the importance of fostering an inclusive work environment where all employees have equitable access to health resources and opportunities for well-being. By implementing these policies, organizations can promote a healthier, more productive, and more equitable workplace for all.
