Objectives: This study examined the motivations, barriers, and effectiveness of employee health care among employers of Certified Health and Productivity Management (HPM) Outstanding Organizations in small and medium-sized enterprises.

Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to employers of 4797 corporations certified as outstanding in HPM in 2020. The survey assessed their motivations, barriers, and perceived effectiveness of HPM implementation.

Results: A total of 1901 employers, representing their corporations, responded (response rate: 40%). The most frequently cited barrier was engaging employees in HPM (64%). The most common effects were improved employee lifestyle and health literacy (56%), increased safety awareness (40%), and enhanced competitiveness in recruitment (33%).

Conclusions: These findings can inform strategies to enhance employers' awareness of employee health care and promote effective HPM implementation.
