Health Issues in the UK

Today's health issues are not only spiralling out of control, but are also having a dramatic impact upon the economy. In 2003, the cost of absenteeism to UK businesses was a reported £11.6 billion (Confederation of British Industry). In 2001, this was illustrated by 200 million working days lost at an expense of more than £434 per employee (CBI Focus on Absence). Stress, accounts for 6.5 million lost working days, at a cost of £370 million in lost production according to the Health & Safety Executive (HSE). And musculoskeletal disorders; primarily in the form of back pain, cause 4.9 million lost days at an estimated £335 million.

With this in mind, there has never been a greater incentive to combat these problems. Through a wellness program, you can give something back to your most important asset, your staff. Fit, healthy staff are better equipped to cope with modern day demands, and a dynamic; well managed wellness program can provide your employees with the information and support to begin improving numerous aspects of their health.

The benefits do not only lie with the employee, but also with you, the employer. Improving health and fitness is scientifically proven to improve mood, reduce injury potential; such as back pain and thus ultimately impact on a business' productivity and bottom line.
