Organisations in Britain that demonstrate best practice and innovative approaches to looking after the health and well-being of their staff are to be highlighted as part of a new initiative.
Health insurer, PruHealth, has partnered with Mercer, a health, retirement and investments consultancy, to launch the Britain’s Healthiest Company project.
Hailed as the first index of its kind to celebrate corporate achievement in managing employee health and well-being, Britain’s Healthiest Company will survey employers and employees at organisations with more than 100 staff to gain a deeper insight into current health risks and trends impacting on workers and businesses.
It will also highlight those organisations delivering real and measurable benefits, not only in improving the health and well-being of their workforce but also in boosting the health of their balance sheets.
According to the Office for National Statistics, around 131 million working days were lost last year on account of sickness absence. €
