“Healthy people, healthy business”

Prevention and early detection of many health problems can significantly benefit the health and quality of life of your employees and, therefore, the efficiency of your business. Intelligent Health works to assess and promote health in your business, so each employee gets to understand their own health risks and the actions they can take personally.

Your company could benefit from: Improved business performance, productivity and efficiency; Cost savings through lower absence rates; Improved retention of valued staff; Healthier workplaces; Increased loyalty.

During the past year, 28.5 million days have been lost due to work-related ill health and injury, this works out as 1.2 days per the average worker¹ - but BMI could make your business an exception to the rule.
Obesity, smoking, stress, excessive alcohol consumption and lack of exercise are all widespread in today’s society and can adversely affect health. The problems that they can cause, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, blocked arteries and raised cholesterol, can often remain undetected for long periods, potentially causing more serious long term health issues.

Implementing simple health programmes can enable workers to return to work safely before symptoms worsen and conditions become dangerous, triggering prolonged absences from work.

Company Benefits:

• Protect staff from ill health
• Enforce a safe and healthy working environment
• Reduced absenteeism
• Increase staff retention and loyalty
• Maintain excellent company reputation
• Improved performance and productivity
• Reduced insurance and legal costs
