Originally formed to seek answers to rising health care costs for companies, the Think Tank has continued its work in 2024 to also study Total Worker Health and the integregation of well-being and safety, the introduction of Lifestyle as Medicine as a model for improving employee health (a grant funded by Ardmore Institute of Health), the connection between brain health (cognitive resilience) and business performance, and how companies can integrate well-being into their social responsibility initiatives.HERO committees, comprised of Think Tank member company employees, aredeveloping guidance for employers in areas that include workforce mental health and well-being and the multi-dimensional strategies that serve to develop and support an organization's people and culture. The annual HERO Forum brings together industry thought leaders and business executives to share best practices, discuss innovation and research in the field, and build networks that support new partnerships and collaborations. In addition, HERO provides 1-2 complimentary webinars monthly for HERO members and the employer marketplace on topics of interest related to workplace health and well-being.The HERO Scorecard is a free, online tool that employers can use to benchmark their health and well-being efforts against a national database of all employers that have completed a Scorecard response. Companies also receive subscores for mental health, DEI, and social determinants of health. In 2024, a brain health subscore was developed and released to help organizations understand the best practices associated with supporting cognitive function and resilience of their employees. The Scorecard database includes large, midsize and small employers. Companies can purchase benchmark reports to compare against other organizations by size, region, and industry. For an annual license fee, HERO also offers the Scorecard Preferred Provider Program for organizations (e.g., benefits consultants, well-being vendors) that wish to receive regular reports on their clients' data. The HERO Scorecard in available in a U.S. version. The International version was updated in 2022, and is also available in Dutch, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish and Chinese.In 2022, HERO was awarded a sole-source contract from NIOSH through the Department of Health and Human Services to develop an open-source data clearinghouse for the NIOSH Worker Well-being Questionnaire (WellBQ). With completion of this project in 2024, researchers now have access to employee-level data to inform research studies on employee health, well-being and safety and the organizational best practices that support a healthy work environment. Employers have the added capability to easily administer the online survey to employees and receive a de-identified summary report of their data.HERO connects science and practice for employers and updates the research agenda annually to reflect areas of importance to demonstrate the value of a health and well-being employer ecosystem. When approved by HERO's research leadership, HERO will designate research funds to support a study to add to the evidence for health and well-being. 419832 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 12 0 true 5 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 14 13 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true true false false AL NC X The Organization 9528354257 14460 Falls of Neuse Rd Ste 149-362 Raleigh NC 27614 Karen Moseley President 40.00 0.00 X X 113012 0 5943 Ryan Sledge Vice Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Stephen Noeldner Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joni Troester Past Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Martha Shepherd Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Gerardo Durand Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tonya Vyhlidal Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Maggie Biscarr Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tami Simon Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dexter Shurney Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Krystal Sexton Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Roshi Fisher Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Janis Davis-Street Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Erin Seaverson Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 113012 5943 1 false false false 0 88616 88616 Forum Fees 900099 94364 94364 Membership Dues 900099 367238 367238 Miscellaneous Income 900099 8029 8029 Scorecard Fees 900099 35500 35500 Sponsorships 900099 118425 118425 5870 5870 629426 9 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 718051 629435 0 0 0 0 118955 59478 59477 0 178606 48480 130126 10061 5567 1420 3074 0 23672 13098 3340 7234 0 0 49625 49625 0 0 0 2231 446 759 1026 0 2645 1412 318 915 30566 12341 3229 14996 0 0 11895 6595 1038 4262 0 136698 136698 0 0 0 7534 4168 1063 2303 Contracted Services 233862 119404 6049 108409 Scorecard Expense 9496 9496 Processing/Admin Fees 6551 1310 2227 3014 Bank Charges 3247 649 1104 1494 3147 690 1799 658 828791 419832 131448 277511 127584 39797 39472 14145 0 27410 47106 0 0 0 0 11432 19141 35854 35854 0 0 0 0 0 0 205898 120189 40061 61392 173825 167525 213886 228917 X -17988 -128728 10000 20000 -7988 -108728 205898 120189 X -110740 10000 X true X false true false X 140555 104747 108339 325454 88616 767711 674324 690189 723860 658842 629426 3376641 0 0 0 814879 794936 832199 984296 718042 4144352 25000 25000 0 25000 25000 4119352 72 14 22 164 9 281 0 72 14 22 164 9 281 0 0 814951 794950 832221 984460 718051 4144633 0.99390 0.93580 0.00010 0.00010 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 9854 9854 26000 26000 X Part X : FIN48 Footnote HERO has a tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Minnesota Statute 290.05.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c: Board members are required to complete a conflict of interest disclosure statement annually in February as part of the HERO governance process. HERO relies on the good character and ethics of its board members and officers to bring forward any situations that might be deemed a conflict of interest. Should apparent conflicts of interest arise (concerning officers, directors, or key employees) the President discusses the situation with the individual and determines whether there may be a conflict and, if so, brings it to the Board for discussion and possible action. In the case of employees, the President deals directly with the individual on any issue.
