Health Screening

Good health is good business 

The Facts: An estimated 185.6 million working days are lost because of sickness or injury in 2022. This represents an increase of 35.8 million from 2021 and 47.4 million in the pre pandemic year of 2019 (Gov.uk).  The annual economic cost of stress and sickness absence estimated to be over £138 billion (FT advisor). 

Whether you have one or one hundred staff, absence from work is a major issue that can cause huge problems with the day-to-day running of your business. 

Health and wellbeing programmes fulfil many companies’ corporate social responsibilities and have a proven, positive impact on business including reduced sickness absence, reduced staff turnover, reduced accidents and injuries, reduced resource allocation, increased employee satisfaction, a higher company profile and higher productivity. 

For employers, the cost of health and wellbeing programmes can be quickly translated into financial benefits, either through cost savings or additional revenue generation. Quantifiable and significant financial benefits were found in large private sector business, public-sector organisations and small medium-sized enterprises. The message is clear - good health is good business. 

  • Stress, musculo-skeletal injury and back pain are among the most common (and most preventable) causes of absence in manual and non-manual workers. 

  • The average level of sickness absence is 7.8 days per employee per year according to new survey findings from CIPD and Simplyhealth 

  • The top causes of long-term absences are mental ill health, musculoskeletal injuries and acute medical conditions such as stroke or cancer. 

  • The average absence length for an employee with back pain extends to a substantial eighteen days, 4 which would result in a cost of £1730 for a £25,000 salaried employee.
