How We Benefit Companies

Did you know that in the UK over 30 million working days are lost in a year* due to work-related ill health and work-place injury?

• How much does worker absence, illness and injury cost your business?
• How much would your bottom-line benefit from a healthy and productive workforce?
• How can you quantify the value of staff morale?

Your people are your greatest investment – the training you have given them, their knowledge of your business, the time and energy they commit to the business so that you don’t have to. Taking care of your people makes good business sense – as well as raising morale, avoiding litigation and ensuring compliance with current legislation.

You know all this – what you may not know is that employing a Chartered Physiotherapist as a consultant to carry out on-site occupational health, risk assessments, work place assessments, as well as training and education in stress-management and the avoidance of injury offers substantial savings.

For instance, in the case study below, the company made a saving of staff time worth £35,000, simply by having one occupational health physiotherapist treating their staff on site quickly and effectively:
