Corporate Health & Wellness
What is Corporate 'Wellness' ?
The health and wellbeing of the workforce is the essence of optimum business performance. A comprehensive “wellness” strategy will not only help you manage the indirect costs of poor health to your company, but is also an opportunity to increase profitability.
A specifically constructed corporate package will reduce sickness and stress in the workplace which will improve employee morale and hence boost productivity. People who exercise work at full efficiency all day, giving a 12.5% increase in productivity. (Prudential Insurance Company Research).
In short, a commitment to the health, fitness and well-being of your staff makes good business sense.
Why does your company need a Corporate Wellness strategy?
CBI calculations show that British Industry is losing nearly £13 billion every year as a result of sickness absence. Of this nearly half is attributed to stress, anxiety and depression (HSE); and a third to musculoskeletal problems (TUC). Low morale is also having a large impact, with 25% of people working ‘below par’.
Prudential Insurance research shows that employees that are involved in corporate fitness programmes take 5 sick days less per annum than colleagues not on a programme.
Osteopathic and Physiotherapy assessment and treatment, work station assessments and corrective exercise can significantly reduce absenteeism. The implementation of self-management strategies and education programmes will not only help with addressing present needs but also preventing future problems.
