With the Spring budget announced, it’s evident that there’s a need now more than ever to support people in their health so that they can thrive in the workforce, improving the UK’s economy and overall state of health.
UKIM Occupational Health & Wellbeing can do just that…
At UKIM Occupational Health & Wellbeing, we have a range of services that can be tailored to business and employee needs so that employees can remain healthy and as active members of their teams. With services ranging from mental health support to health surveillance and general case management, there’s no occupational health issue we can’t support to help employers and their workforces.
Recent findings suggest that mental health is a key factor towards economic inactivity, especially amongst younger generations, and so our Wellbeing Strategies and Psychology & Counselling services, can tackle that problem effectively by preventing young people (an of course others) from dropping out of the workforce, and by creating an environment where they feel as though they can re-enter with support from their employers.
Findings also highlight that musculoskeletal conditions also play a key role in the challenges of keeping people in work or entering work. At UKIM Occupational Health & Wellbeing, we offer physiotherapy services and ergonomic advice so that employers are well equipped to support employees with reasonable adjustments and correct treatment paths.
Our occupational health support is invaluable for employers because it ensures that employees have the tools and support necessary to reduce their absences, increase productivity as well as create a positive working environment.
Why investing in occupational health is beneficial for employers…
- Greater returns on investment
- Reduced absences
- Higher levels of productivity
- Better and happier workplace culture
- Better retention and recruitment
- Reduced costs from absences and recruitment
- Full workforce
- Better prevention of sickness
By investing in occupational health, employers can have the reassurance and support to keep their workforces fully functioning at the high standards they should be. Occupational health benefits employers both operationally and financially, without impacting employers workloads.
Occupational health demands are increasing as the UK economy struggles…
It’s evident that there’s a great need for occupational health as it’s been announced by government that the number of economically inactive people has increased drastically over recent years and it’s causing strains on the economy.
When budgets are being cut, healthcare systems have ongoing waitlist problems, and there’s an ever-growing mental health crisis, it’s never been more of a crucial time to invest in occupational health.
