We build value

Done well, wellbeing programmes can prevent illness and reduce absence, turnover and costs while driving performance. But getting there isn’t straightforward. Wellbeing needs to mirror the diversity of its workforce to succeed – their needs, their roles, their choices throughout their now extended working lives and employers still need to support each step. One size rarely fits all.

Employee benefits, health initiatives, absence policies and culture should work in unison to build real and perceived value. Integrating Healthsmart, our absence management process, will make workplace ill health more manageable and cost effective and get employees back to work faster too. Our wellbeing reviews lead to strategies, benchmarked industries and bottomed-out budgets.

Our aim is your total business wellbeing and in tandem with your other benefits, we implement, manage and measure your wellbeing programme.

Research highlights the growing importance of wellness in the workplace

Research conducted by Reward & Employee Benefits Association (REBA) in conjunction with Punter Southall Health & Protection has revealed that nearly half of organisations have a wellbeing strategy. Of those without a current strategy, half plan to introduce one in 2018.

Occupational Health

Helps to create safe, healthy working environments and reduces sickness absence.

Quality occupational health monitors employee ill health cases and cuts employer risk. It’s important support for all employers, large and small, but cost and methodology need evaluating first.

We help source the right supplier and recommend integrating Healthsmart – our joined up occupational health, employee benefits and absence management approach. With inbuilt flexibility and three service levels, it answers individual business needs.

Wellness Initiatives

Helps employees become more health aware.

Employee wellbeing helps drive business success, so workforce health and work-life balance are priorities for many employers. But fulltime wellbeing managers are often too expensive, so initiatives tailored to employees and their roles work well.

We facilitate brainstorming sessions to design the relevant programme and help source suppliers, kick-start implementation and analyse results. We advise on flexible working, health risk assessments, workplace gyms and discounts, exercise at work, diet, sleep improvements, onsite GP services and hypnotherapy.

Stress Audits

Help to create safe, healthy working environments and protect against potential stress claims.

Legally, employers have to assess the risk of employees becoming ill through workplace stress. Auditing provides accurate recording and referral systems and identifies the most stressful roles

But measuring stress isn’t a one-off annual occurrence, especially if it is prevalent.

On-going systems and procedures, as well as supporting employees and making reasonable adjustments are required which smaller companies, without the infrastructure in place, struggle to achieve. We recommend building stress audits into occupational health and review the market to find the best value and service solution.
