What is Occupational Health?
Occupational Health is a focus on physical, mental and social well-being within the workplace. It considers the effects health can have on your job, and vice versa.
The principle role of Occupational Health is to help prevent work-related illness or injury and give health advice to businesses and individuals to ensure the highest standards of health, safety and general well-being are being maintained.
Healthy workers are key to productivity and a positive workplace. According to Vitality 2024, poor health at work is responsible for £138bn loss to UK economy each year. Our aim is to maintain a healthy, motivated workforce.
We offer a wide range of services encompassing all areas of Occupational Health. Each of our packages can be tailored to suit your organisational needs, we never prescribe unnecessary products or services ensuring a bespoke experience; and that you only ever pay as you grow.
Why is Occupational Health important?
It’s all about managing risk and hazards and identifying potential physical health issues. Proactive diagnosis prevents potentially harmful situations for your colleagues and your organisation.
Healthy workplace, healthy workers
We spend most of our adult lives in the workplace, making it a significant factor that could potentially have a huge impact on our health and wellbeing. Ensuring workplaces are safe and comfortable environments can positively influence not only your employees, but also your business and prosperity.
The longer an employee is off sick, the harder and less likely it is that they’ll return successfully. In 2013, PwC reported that the cost of ill health and absence for businesses in the UK costs a staggering £29 billion yearly.
With musculoskeletal conditions and minor illnesses such as coughs & colds being the main causes of absences at work, we’re here to help employees feel looked after, enabling them to take less days off sick and for your business to lose less money.
