Recent industry research* has shown that 95% of UK employers do not really know if their employee healthcare benefits represent value for money in meeting their corporate objectives as they are not measuring the return on these investments.  A key reason for this is the failure to accurately measure sickness absence and the associated costs, indeed 40% of companies do not have any sort of employee health management system in place.  Furthermore, a significant number of employers doubt their employees truly understand the value of their health care benefits and with 9 out of 10 GPs blaming companies for failing to take responsibility for their employee's health & wellbeing.  However, the reserch has also indicated a growing desire to change this situation.

With an ever-growing proliferation of absence management tools, it is important to determine an appropriate strategy that is both right for your organisation and properly engages your employees to deliver a measurable improvement to health and productivity, demonstrating a tangible return on investment.

This seminar will:

• outline a strategic framework to deliver effective health & productivity management (HPM)
• consider 'case management' as an integral part of your absence intervention initiatives
• provide arguments to help you convince senior management that health & wellbeing is a critical issue that will improve business performance
• identify opportunities to establish and integrate health related employment policies and practices and effective communications processes
• present case study evidence of successful outcomes
