Investing in employee wellbeing makes sense
Take effective measures to reduce absenteeism and improve profits. This exclusive Primary Health plan which has an entry level of just £1.10 per week per employee, has been partnered with Westfield Health Scheme, one of the UK's leading providers of healthcare plans. The 'Focus on Absence' report also identifies that stress is the second highest cause of absence from work. The Plan includes access to a 24 hour advice line, providing confidential advice on medical, legal and domestic issues, by a team of qualified lawyers, counsellors and medical staff. Face to face counselling is also available if necessary. This facility when utilised can be an effective means of alleviating stress problems.
Minor illness is the major cause of absence
Employers of both manual and non-manual staff regarded minor illness as the major cause of absence. This is consistent with previous CBI surveys, which have indicated that employers believe genuine sickness is the main cause of absence.
For manual employees, minor illness was regarded as the second most important cause of absence, followed by paid sickness absence being seen as an entitlement.
Taking the Chamber Initiative pays dividends
Reducing the cost of absenteeism and provided added value benefits will have a positive effect on balance sheets by improving productivity, maintaining loyalty and increasing job satisfaction. Subsequently having a positive effect on profits. It will provide an effective absence management tool as well as being an excellent employee benefit, which will be received well by all employees.
What our members say about Chamber Healthcare
I am pleased that the Society took the decision to include the Westfield Healthcare Plan as part of staffs' conditions of employment. The decision clearly demonstrated to staff that that the Society valued them as a key factor in achieving its principal business objective, namely, to be at the forefront of quality care for the elderly.
The Healthcare Plan has helped to maintain staff morale and motivation which, although were good, have to be continually developed to remain at a high level.
The Westfield Healthcare Plan is definitely a worthwhile investment for the benefit of staff and the Society. Its value has also demonstrated one of the benefits of membership of Greenock Chamber of Commerce.
