What are the benefits of using a commercial Occupational Health provider?
With more staff absences than ever before – estimated to cost the economy around £100bn a year - you need to get your employees back on their feet as quickly as possible, which is where the benefits of a commercial Occupational Health provider come in.
Occupational Health (OH) is a method devoted purely to keeping your workforce healthy, ensuring your employees are able to work to the best of their ability and deliver optimum performance.
This involves managing short term and long term health problems, developing absence management strategies to help staff with on-going health issues and taking steps to reduce employee absence due to sickness.
So, why is it more beneficial to use a commercial Occupational Health provider?
