Responsible businesses throughout the world are recognising their role in promoting and enabling the health and wellbeing of their employees. Companies who have health and wellbeing promotion measures report fewer days lost to staff absence and so these businesses are reaping the rewards – as high as £2.50 return for each £1 spent*.
So, by promoting the health and wellbeing of their employees, they are protecting the health and wellbeing of their balance sheets, as well.
Our flexible, holistic approach to meeting your needs means we can create the right health and wellbeing measures for your business. Our expertise encompasses wellbeing promotion, health screening, consultancy and HSE regulation compliance.
From wellbeing promotion and health screening in office-based organisations (like BP and 3M) to occupational health monitoring in factories and garages (like Titan Environmental and Sytners), Health Events can help you identify, plan and deliver the right health and wellbeing services for your employees.
Promoting Wellbeing, Improving Business
40 million working days are lost each year to occupational ill-health and injury.

Of the 3.3 million cases brought to the HSE regarding avoidable injury or ill health at work, roughly 317,000 were due to employers failing to adequately protect their employees from the effects of noise, chemicals, asbestos and dust.

Last year, 14,492 claims were made against firms for deafness caused by noise exposure in the workplace.

3000 people develop asthma each year because of substances they are exposed to doing their jobs. Asthma UK – www.asthma.org.uk
The maximum compensation that was paid out for noise exposure in one claim was £17500. www.hse.gov.uk
Compensation was paid out in roughly 2/3 of cases, in amounts varying from £75 to £77,000. www.hse.gov.uk
Compensation can be just the tip of the iceberg. A company that is found to be
liable for harm should add in the extra costs of time lost, sick pay, extra wages for
temporary labour, court and legal costs, fines and the damage done to their reputation.
