Addressing Workplace Health Challenges with Physiotherapy-Led Professional Services

Challenges

In the dynamic landscape of modern workplaces, absenteeism, presenteeism, and employee retention are prominent challenges that organisations face. According to recent reports, sickness absence rates in the UK have reached their highest levels in a decade, averaging 7.8 days per employee per year.

The primary causes include minor illnesses, mental health issues, and musculoskeletal injuries​ (CIPD)​​ (Personnel Today).

Presenteeism, where employees come to work despite being unwell, has also become a significant issue. It has more than tripled since 2010 and is now a major contributor to lost productivity, costing UK employers up to £29 billion annually​ (CIPD)​​ (Open Access Government)​. This hidden cost of presenteeism is often overlooked, yet its impact on productivity is 12 times higher than absenteeism.

Employee retention remains another critical concern. High absenteeism and presenteeism rates contribute to lower job satisfaction and higher turnover, making it difficult for organisations to retain top talent.

Solutions

To combat these challenges, All Set Workplace offers comprehensive physiotherapy-led professional services designed to enhance employee well-being and productivity. Here’s how our solutions address these issues:
