Healthcare RM - empowering people to take control of their health
Introduction
In the 1980s and 90s, 80% of British people felt they were responsible and accountable for their own actions. Today 80% of us feel that someone else is to blame. But with progressive legislation and our keenness to blame others many of us appear to have forgotten that we are all responsible for our own health.
Poor nutrition, obesity, disruption and quality of sleep, lack of exercise and the pressures of excessive stress are all major underlying causative factors of ill health including musculoskeletal, mental health, cardiac conditions, diabetes and some cancers, etc.
Improving and protecting the health and well-being of your staff is an investment and not a cost, and high quality occupational health support need not be expensive. As part of implementing a employee health and wellbeing at work strategy, we help you identify measures that will reduce general ill-health among your employees, as well as reviewing and implementing health, well-being and sickness absence policies and practices, reducing the risks of illness and helping people return to work quickly and safely.
As well as helping our clients ensure their employees are not injured or made ill at work, we are able to offer comprehensive advice and practical guidance to promote healthy living, including personalised health and fitness programmes.
Knowing where to make a start with health and fitness can be bewildering. The following personal health risk mini-guides cover the main principles of maintaining a healthy lifestyle:
