description	The processes of modernization and technological evolution have emphasized the problem of human capital development. The quality of human capital, including physical well-being, makes a significant contribution to the growth of workforce productivity. The paper examines the feasibility of investing in employees’ health in order to ensure the growth of labour productivity at enterprises, as well as develop techniques and models of such investment. The theories of human capital constitute the methodological basis of the study. The research methods used are economic-statistical modeling, cluster analysis and methods of managerial decision-making. The article examines statistical data of management and accounting reports of a large enterprise engaged in the electric power industry, as well as data from a survey of its employees. The study analyzes the existing approaches, methods and models to control employees’ health and labour productivity.
