Why We Do It
‘We provide the best available solution’
‘The business case for promoting and supporting employee health and well-being is becoming increasingly clear. Employers can gain clear benefits in reducing turnover and increasing the productivity and engagement of employees’ (CIPD)
The research confirms that there is a clear link between well-being, increased cognitive fitness, and improved performance. Important executive skills, such as leadership style, decision-making, creative thinking, and the setting of priorities and strategy, are all powerfully linked to our state of mind. Improving the mental and physical well-being of employees provides a real and measurable competitive advantage.
There is a problem
‘Presenteeism’, working when unwell, sickness and absence management represent a major cost to companies. The evidence about the costs to business is now universally acknowledged – self-reported work-related stress accounted for 12.8 million lost working days per year in Britain (HSE 2005). Work absenteeism was estimated to cost employers £28.6 billion in both direct and indirect costs in 2004.
We provide the solution
If you are going to do something – do something that works. Prevention and effective early intervention using proven and effective cognitive behavioural strategies makes sound financial sense. Proactively, our involvement can improve coping, quality of life and performance. We can deliver effective initiatives that improve engagement and motivation – it pays to be healthy. Reactively we can help by reducing stress related problems, sickness absence and prevent the loss of highly valued staff.
A proactive and early reactive approach is supported by the CBI, CIPD, HSE, and DWP

An investment for the future
The evidence clearly shows that improving the well-being and quality of life of individual employees increases engagement and enhances performance. Our involvement will help your business attract, recruit and retain key talent – it makes sound financial sense
A positive approach
Medicine and psychology have tended to focus on illness and disease. However, there is an exciting ‘tectonic shift’ in healthcare with an increasing interest in, and understanding of, the factors that enhance and maintain health and well-being.
