Workplace Health
The cost of poor employee health to your business is incredible, and for those companies who do not have the resources to manage sickness and absence, those costs can be even greater.
To any employer, the statistics below are frightening...
- On average, each year 1.7 million scheduled work days are lost as a direct result of sickness and absence.
- The economic cost of sickness, absence and worklessness resulting from ill health is over £100 billion per annum.
- Employees are taking 70 million days sick leave per year due to problems such as stress, anxiety and depression which can be a direct result of physical or personal issues.
Statistics showing increasing poor physical health means sickness and absence will only increase. According to the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence...
- 61.4% of adults in England are now either overweight or obese
- Just 1 person in 7 achieves their five-a-day target
- By 2020 at least 1/3 of adults will be obese
A whole range of serious health problems are linked to poor diet and insufficient physical activity. Issues such as problems sleeping, stress/anxiety, back, neck and joint pain may not be life-threatening. However, they can significantly impact productivity and are recognised as being some of the largest contributors to sporadic absenteeism.
Encouraging and aiding your staff to be more active both in and out of the workplace will result in a more energetic, motivated and industrious workforce. The BeingBetter Project can show you how implementing small changes can have a significant impact on your employees and the growth of your business.
It is our aim to remove any health related barriers to work using innovative methods, and to maximise the performance of your workforce.
From recovering from physical injury to general fatigue, stress, poor diet and sleeping patterns, we endeavour to identify and broker in the most effective and accessible solution, providing the support necessary for employees to reach their full potential.
