Health at Work

A new survey from Norwich Union Healthcare shows how Employers, Employees and GPs need to act together to improve the state of the nation's health.

Following a considerable amount of personal involvement in this work, I thought it only right to
publish a link to it:

A quick summary of the findings include:
  • Small companies have an 'information gap' when it comes to workplace health issues. They see things very literally and are concerned with legislation and compliance to cover their backs.
  • The Ageing workforce is becoming a concern for larger companies.
  • Family Life is seen as a major influence on absentee rates.

Publicity on this report to follow later this week !
