What is Occupational Health?
Occupational health is all about managing and promoting your team’s health and wellbeing at work. It’s not just about keeping people on the job—it’s about making sure they’re fit for their roles and have the support they need to tackle any health risks head-on. By looking after both physical and mental health, occupational health helps create a workplace where everyone can be their best, day in and day out.
Key services of occupational health include: -
- Management referrals: Offering expert advice and assessments for employees referred by management, addressing any health concerns that could be affecting their performance or attendance. Sometimes, just a bit of tailored support can make all the difference.
- New-starter health screenings: Checking in on the health of new employees to ensure they’re fit for their roles from the start. This helps identify any potential adjustments needed to support their wellbeing, setting them up for success right from day one.
- Health surveillance: Keeping a close eye on the health of employees who are exposed to certain risks, like noise or hazardous substances. This isn’t just about ticking boxes—it’s about ensuring everyone stays safe and compliant with legal requirements.
Importance of Occupational Health
Commitment to Occupational Health
Occupational health is vital for reducing sickness absence, boosting productivity, and improving employee morale. By ensuring employees are healthy and supported, businesses can minimise disruptions, maintain high levels of engagement, and create a positive work environment.
Key reasons why occupational health is important include:-
- Reduced sickness absence: Effective occupational health strategies can significantly lower the number of sickness days. In 2021*, UK businesses lost an average of 4.6 days per worker due to sickness absence, costing valuable time and resources.
- Increased productivity: Healthy employees are more engaged and productive, contributing to better business outcomes. Addressing health issues early can prevent longer-term problems that may impact performance.
- Enhanced employee morale: When employees feel their wellbeing is valued, morale improves. The CIPD* reports that 61% of employers have seen increased engagement and satisfaction through health and wellbeing programmes.
- Positive workplace culture: A focus on occupational health fosters a supportive environment, leading to higher retention rates and a stronger organisational culture.
Investing in an occupational health company service not only benefits employees but also strengthens your business, making it more resilient and successful
