Healthy Employees versus Healthy Business

How healthy are your employees and how do you look after them while they are at work?  This may be a question that you ask yourself or Company Directors with whom you do consultancy work for.

Type into Google “Health Audit” or Health Audit for Businesses” and you will find (as I did) that there does not seem to be anything on the market to assess how you are looking after the very people that make your company what it is.

It seems that a healthy business means that it is making profits and has very little or no strategy for the well-being of it’s contributors.

Only a ¼ of business have a well-being policy in place and a ½ of them only have a private medical insurance in place for when they are sick or injured. 

I’m talking to a group of HR managers at the end of the month with such a proposal.  An easy way of showing that you are looking after the well-being of your employees with a simple “traffic light” check list that can be adapted by each company to make their working environment one where healthy living is promoted and makes their company a positive and vibrant place to work.  

Is anyone else aware of similar methods out there being used?
