Whatever the exact nature or cause of the problem, every year thousands of companies suffer the unnecessary financial burden of absenteeism related to musculoskeletal problems.

Being able to identify and manage such injuries and any possible associated absence, will allow you to control and reduce the potential for absenteeism in your company. This in turn will have a dramatic effect upon the profitability of your business.

Our service model of providing both ‘reactive’ assessment and treatment, combined with ‘proactive and preventative’ approaches through workplace assessment and training, has proven very successful. In fact, one client demonstrated savings of over £185,000 in the first 18 months.

Cost Benefits – Food Manufacturing

Example 1

A recent customer (food manufacturing) at a site with approximately 900 employees showed a minimum saving of £20,000 in the first 5 months of service.

A sample of 26 employees was taken out of a total of 82 employees seen in this timescale.

£17,000 was saved through the reduction in absence due to early return to work and £3,000 due to absence prevention (i.e. maintaining individuals at work, whether it be on normal or slightly modified duties).

Further investment in the service was supported by analysis indicating a cost benefit ratio of 1:3. For further information contact us...

Sample ratio 1:9

Example 2

An existing customer of 6 years (food manufacturing) at a site with approximately 500 employees, showed a minimum saving of £22,000 in a 5 month timescale.

A sample of 18 employees was taken out of a total of 48 employees seen during this period. £18,000 was saved through reduction in absence due to early return to work and £4,000 was saved due to absence prevention (i.e. maintaining individuals at work, whether it be on normal or slightly modified duties).
