HERO is a national organization in the Health and Human Services sector that concentrates on advancing workplace health and well-being through research, education, policy development, strategy, leadership, and infrastructure. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, the organization hosts the HERO Think Tank, a collaborative group of workplace HWB experts who regularly exchange ideas to shape national policy, strategy, leadership, and infrastructure. It also administers the HERO Scorecard, developed with Mercer, which inventories best practices, serves as a measure of program success, and provides a normative database for benchmarking and research. HERO undertakes research and educational initiatives to push the boundaries of health promotion and to offer business leaders opportunities to learn from leading-practice companies and programs. Its work targets employers and organizational leaders seeking evidence-based approaches to improve employee health and well-being. Described as a small to mid-sized organization, HERO operates from Raleigh and continues to expand its collaborative resources, including a September 2024 partnership with the Office for Total Worker Health at NIOSH to develop an online portal for safety researchers and employers.
