Industry sector dictates worker access to health and wellbeing services

Men having discussion

The sector people work in appears to dictate whether or not they have access to employer provided health and wellbeing services.

Data from Bupa’s Workplace Wellbeing Census reveals just 26% of people working in hospitality and leisure have access to health and wellbeing services, while 45% of retail workers said the same.

This compares with 76% of finance and accounting employees.

And notably, four in 10 (43%) workers did not have access to mental health and wellbeing services overall.

 

 

Two thirds of respondents said they valued the health services offered by their employer and 79% said they would use these services if they needed to.

The report also revealed that just 16% of workers in small companies had access to health and wellbeing services, compared with 44% in medium sized companies and 73% of those at large firms.
