The pressure on workplaces to become more aware of and engaged in their employees’ health is growing ever higher, with direct and in-direct expectations from a range of sources increasing.
Furthermore, when organisations do the right things and put provision in place they are facing higher costs as the way health and wellbeing schemes are being used has rapidly evolved.
This Health & Protection workplace health and wellbeing roundtable in association with Vitality explored the key issues employers must tackle to keep their organisations on a healthy track.
The discussion covered highly emotive topics including the rising prevalence of dependants being added onto schemes to ensure rapid treatment and care – but also contributing to significant cost increases.
Increasingly and understandably, business goals involve keeping people in work through preventative healthcare and early interventions.
However, the investment also needs to be long-term with a recognition the results may not fully formulate for some years, but particularly with the support of new technologies, there are instant impacts which could have profound effects and improve personal outcomes.
