Is your workforce prepared for weather-related health risks? Evaluate your organization's readiness.
Extreme weather is endangering workers and disrupting businesses, and employers are facing growing pressure to prepare and respond.
The Climate and Worker Health Scorecard can help you understand how prepared your organization is — and where to focus next.
This free tool assesses how well your policies and programs support workers in the face of extreme heat, poor air quality, natural disasters, and other weather-related risks.
The Scorecard was developed by Mercer with support from the National Commission on Climate and Workforce Health — the strategic advisory board behind the Health Action Alliance's Extreme Weather + Work initiative.
The Scorecard is free and open to use, and would benefit any U.S.-based employer interested in assessing how prepared they are. It's particularly useful for HR leaders, health and safety officers, ESG teams, and C-suite leaders focused on risk and sustainability.
The Scorecard guides your organization through a structured review of workforce demographics, exposure to extreme weather, emergency preparedness, health and safety practices, and weather-driven stressors like displacement and mental health challenges.
When you're done, you'll receive a custom report with your results, as well as recommendations for what to do next.

Employers are navigating growing health and operational risks tied to extreme weather — from heat-related illness and productivity loss to displacement and mental health strain.
