Why does my company need an occupational health service?
Your staff are a key business asset and essential to productivity and profitability. As an employer, you are required by law to prevent physical and mental ill health in your workers that may occur as a result of your business activities.
Research shows that good health is good for business – and healthy workplaces have better financial results. The longer people are off sick, the less likely they are to make a successful return to work – and the cost of an absent workforce on the UK’s economy is estimated at £100bn each year.
Benefits in the workplace:
Reduced Absenteeism: Early intervention and health monitoring help prevent long-term sickness and reduce time off.
Improved Productivity: Healthy employees are more focused, engaged, and efficient.
Legal Compliance: Supports adherence to local employee health and safety regulations as well as the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Enhanced Reputation: Demonstrates a commitment to employee wellbeing, which attracts and retains talent.
Lower Insurance Costs: Fewer claims and better risk management can lead to reduced premiums.
Better Morale & Culture: A proactive health strategy fosters trust and a positive work environment.
Remember: Staff may work for 40 years.
A 6-month health-related absence should be viewed in perspective.
