Health and Wellbeing
Ill health amongst employees has huge implications for companies ranging from the costs of:
- Absenteeism
- Staff turnover
- Presenteeism (the act of attending work while sick)
Research has shown sickness absence costs UK businesses an estimated £29bn each year with the average worker taking 6.6 days off each year due to sickness. Evidence shows that presenteeism can account for up to 50% more working time lost then absenteeism. It has been estimated that an average London firm of 250 employees loses around £250,000 a year due to ill health.
At G&A Initiative we recognise the importance of health and wellbeing in the workplace and pride ourselves in taking a holistic approach to deal with this issue. We believe it is important not just to be reactive and manage ill health but to look at the root causes and promote health and wellbeing. We like to use the WHO definition of health in the broader sense being:
"a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity"
Taking a biopsychosocial approach, we help to identify potential areas that can trigger ill health and proactively put in place initiatives to combat these. The aim being to reduce the impact of ill health on the company and more importantly to increase the health of the workforce leading to reduced absenteeism, better productivity and an increase in overall staff satisfaction rates.
Our team with a diverse skillset ranging from business psychology to medicine are ideally placed to offer this unique holistic approach to boost the health and wellbeing of your company.
As biopsychosocial practitioners, combining both business psychology and medicine we bring a wealth of knowledge and experience. Our goal is to provide a space for your company to flourish by giving you an effective workforce and bringing you a return in terms of high levels of productivity, low levels of absenteeism and a low turnover of staff – all having a big impact on your bottom line investment.
