## 4 Discussion of Results: Management Decisions to Improve Employers' Health Quality
Measures focused on financial and economic conditions include ensuring the required costs for material incentives to health-preserving activities. Measures that ensure the material and technical conditions for health preservation include the development of the material and technical base, physical culture and sports events, organization of a psychological relief room. Employees' homogeneous groups received at the previous stage of the technology, have meaningfully different labor productivity profiles and health status. Therefore, we apply differ management decisions (strategies) for control labor productivity by preserving health quality. Such strategies are developed for four homogeneous clusters characterizing the health status of workers as excellent, good, satisfactory and bad. For each employee's group we propose its own strategy--current control, monitoring and prevention, healthy lifestyle prevention and strong involvement, Table 8.  
We conduct an efficiency assessment for development and implementation of listed strategies. The economic effect for implementation of management decisions is ensured by: reducing the number of technological violations committed by personnel; reduction of sick leave payments, reduction of sick leave; reduction of days of works' incapacity; increasing the quality of work performed, Table 9. \begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{c c c c} \hline \hline \multirow{2}{*}{**Cluster**} & **Employee Profile,** & **Health Improvement Strategy** & **Management Decisions** \\ \hline

Table 9: Costs assessment before and after management decisions implementation. For example, the strategy \"Strong involvement\", developed for the employees in the third cluster, which is about one third of the total sample, includes the following activities: promotion of a healthy lifestyle; mass sports; expanding the list of working specialties provided with regular spa treatment; development of health-improving programs. Total investments for this strategy implementation are 260,000 rubles. The economic effect sources of the proposed program are:  
* Reducing a cost of sick leave. Since the employees in the third cluster make 34 percent of all employees, we accept two options: an optimistic one, which results in a complete reduction in the incidence of sickness among employees in this cluster, and in the second realistic option, a reduction in the incidence and costs of sick leave payments is ensured by 20%;
* Reducing a cost of replacing an employee who has left for sick leave. Similarly, to assess the effect, an optimistic option is considered, in which these costs are completely eliminated, and a realistic option, in which the cost reduction will be 20%. The company costs associated with the absence of an employee due to illness will decrease by more than 1,413,000 rub., and the net savings, taking into account the costs of implementing the programs, will amount to more than 1,153,000 rub.
