International HR Day recognises how HR can have a positive impact on working lives and business performance. Following the business disruption caused by the pandemic, it is increasingly important to promote employee wellness and equality in the workplace.
The theme this year is ‘Shaping the New Future’, with a focus on the following four areas:
- Ensuring a high trust culture – working to earn the trust of employees and create open communication channels
- Promoting equality, diversity and inclusion in the workplace
- Focusing on employee wellness and work life balance – supporting individuals, sustaining high productivity and introducing inclusive ways of working
- Working sustainably – both through positively impacting people through opportunities to grow skills and performance, and minimising impact to the environment and wider society
Keeping Employees Well at Work
A strong, collaborative relationship between HR and Occupational Health is key. We know that your employees are your greatest asset, therefore their continued health, mental and physical, is paramount if they are to be effective at work. In addition to this, we understand the commercial challenges our clients face. Working together, Occupational Health can help a business to make health risk management a priority.
Sickness absence can be costly for all businesses, but for small businesses the absence of a key employee can impact significantly on the rest of the team. At Sarsen Health, we understand that HR needs clear and concise advice, and often a fast response from us in helping them to manage absence. There are some medically complex cases of both physical and mental ill health where advice from an Occupational Health Specialist can be invaluable.
As Occupational Health Specialists, we are qualified health professionals with a wide experience of working with businesses of a range of sizes, in a variety of sectors.
Sarsen Health provides a flexible approach to service delivery of health assessments designed to suit your business and employee needs. We can provide face to face appointments at our Woking offices, remote telephone health assessments, or we can travel to your workplace. Call us today to discuss how we can help you with sickness absence management among your employees.
