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:

Physiotherapy-Led Assessments

Our expert physiotherapists provide on-site and virtual assessments to identify and address musculoskeletal issues early. This proactive approach helps reduce the risk of long-term health problems, thereby decreasing both absenteeism and presenteeism.

Tailored Treatment Plans

We develop customised treatment plans that cater to individual employee needs, ensuring effective management of existing conditions and prevention of future issues. This personalised care promotes quicker recovery and sustained health.

Ergonomic Improvements

Our services include ergonomic assessments and recommendations to improve workplace setups. Proper ergonomics is crucial in preventing musculoskeletal injuries and enhancing overall comfort and productivity.

Ongoing Support

We provide continuous support and follow-up sessions to ensure employees maintain their health improvements. Regular check-ins help in early detection of potential issues and timely intervention.

Educational Workshops

We conduct workshops to educate employees on best practices for maintaining physical health and well-being. Knowledgeable employees are better equipped to manage their health, reducing the likelihood of absenteeism and presenteeism.



In conclusion

Investing in employee health through physiotherapy-led professional services not only addresses the immediate challenges of absenteeism and presenteeism but also fosters a healthier, more engaged workforce. By prioritising employee well-being, organisations can enhance productivity, improve job satisfaction, and boost employee retention.
