The Truth Behind 75% of Sickness Absence

• 75% of sickness absence is due to stress or musculoskeletal disorders (MSD’s) and 40% of those days lost are attributable to work related illness (source: Health and Safety Executive 2014/15)
• There is a gap in current healthcare system between the NHS, which is a free resource but overburdened and Private Health Insurance, which is circumscribed by cost. With an aging population and ever fewer resources, this gap will widen
• The suggestion is that employers are asked to increase their level of investment in employee health and wellbeing programmes as part of their corporate social responsibility and HR best practice
• That health and wellbeing programmes should be part of an organisation’s business strategy
• Body Mechanics Remedial work with businesses to deliver tailored health and wellbeing programmes on-site to employees. They include massage, nutrition plans, Pilates and personal training programmes
• Body Mechanics Remedial stands to support employers in being proactive towards employees health and wellbeing – ‘prevention is better than cure’
