Healthcare Policies

Just as it’s important for us to check the state of your workplace health with an HR audit, it’s crucial that the health of your workers is in tip-top condition. The cost of sickness absence, turnover and your reputation as a good employer can all be a affected by unhealthy staff.

Did you know that sickness absence costs UK businesses just under £30bn every year? What you want is for your workers to be happy and healthy and for that to impact your business in a positive and productive way.

Alongside encouraging workplace health initiatives that promote psychological and physical wellness –
from rewards for cycling to work and the supply of healthy breakfasts to holistic wellness toolkits for dealing with stress and encouraging a positive company culture – one of the best ways to do this is to introduce a company healthcare policy, the implementation of which has been found to reduce sickness absence by more than 80%.
