Occupational Health
Occupational Health is about protecting, maintaining and promoting the physical and mental health of your employees within their work environment. An effective Occupational Health strategy proactively supports your clients employees and their business productivity through the promotion of staff well-being. By highlighting potential health issues, advance measures can be taken to manage and minimise them.
Our Occupational Health services also help companies find and improve risk areas within the work environment which could be considered detrimental to their workers’ health. This in turn helps their clients reduce the cost of absence, injury and legal risk to their business.
Why is Occupational Health so important?
We offer a number of Occupational Health services that can help your clients business, whatever their size, to mitigate the risk and lower the impact of employee absence.
- NEW MyHealthCounts for Business
-
MyHealthCounts for Business is the health risk assessment programme that rewards both your clients and their employees for understanding and managing their health.
With MyHealthCounts for Business your clients will be rewarded for their employees taking part in the programme by receiving up to 100% discount off the following year’s MyHealthCounts for Business programme cost. They will also receive regular access to reports highlighting the health risk areas and recommended interventions. Their employees will be able to get a better understanding of their current state of health, get personalised advice and action plans for managing and improving their health and benefit from health and leisure discounts for participating.
- Employee Assistance Programme
-
Our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) provides face-to-face counselling from qualified professionals. Plus, employees will have 24 hour access to our GP and Stress Counselling helplines which are open 365 days a year and can help with a wide range of issues.
- Health Screening
-
With a regular health screen, your employees can be aware of any medical issues before they become a problem. Preventative care allows them to treat potential illnesses more easily and cost effectively, which in turn keeps sickness absence levels at a minimum. Health Screening also demonstrates to your employees that you value their well-being, motivating them to do their best work.
- Absence Manager
-
Absence Manager is a new solution offered by Aviva supported by our award winning Occupational Health network. We will work closely with your clients to help them record, monitor and manager absence within their business. It focuses on minimising absence by offering early intervention to employees who are off sick, giving them access to expert Occupational Health support. This might include clinical advice or guidance, counselling or changes to their working environment.
