UK Healthcare: The Effects of Absenteeism and Presenteeism in the Workplace

Absenteeism and presenteeism are two factors that can have major consequences on the finances of British businesses; significant health issues in the workplace can have a direct effect on performance and productivity.

The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) revealed in its annual report that the average annual cost of absence to businesses is £692 per employee¹.

While the effects of employee absenteeism on businesses are well documented, one issue that is not addressed as much is that of presenteeism; where employees actually attend work, but due to health issues, are unable to perform their duties to the required standard.

Research by PriceWaterhouseCoopers² suggests that presenteeism could cost employers up to seven times more per employee per year, based on the CIPD figures this puts the figure just under £5,000 per affected employee per annum.

As a result of rising absenteeism and presenteeism levels, more and more businesses are beginning to invest in group healthcare policies for their employees. A report by the European Network for Health Promotion³suggests that, for every 80p spent by an organisation of health promotion and intervention programmes, around £4 could be saved by the business.

Wellness programmes help to improve business turnover as they help reduce absenteeism and presenteeism, save money on temporary cover staff, and in turn improve morale and motivation in the office.

If you are looking for affordable, everyday business healthcare cover, designed to help your company enhance its performance, then look no further than UK Healthcare.

A subsidiary of Bolton and District Hospital Saturday Council, UK Healthcare Limited provide affordable healthcare solutions for both individuals and companies. With the UK Healthcare cash plan, policyholders can claim back expenses paid at the pharmacy, dentist and opticians, as well as being covered for consultant referrals and hospital stays up to policy limits.

IT Support Partner JMC Retains Its Investors in People Accreditation

IT support partner JMC has announced that it has retained its Investors in People (IIP) accreditation.

The renewed accreditation was confirmed following two days of interviews between IIP assessors and JMC employees.

Following the evaluation, the IIP assessor concluded that JMC had demonstrated its full commitment to delivering the IIP standards, which was evident in the positive attitudes displayed by its employees.

IIP is the leading people management improvement standard in the UK, helping thousands of organisations across the nation to improve their business performance through their employees.

Around 40 per cent of companies fail to retain their IIP accreditation, so this is an outstanding achievement for JMC, and showcases their long term commitment to improving employee relations.
