At Engage Health Group we believe that healthy employees are good for business, and that investing in staff health and wellbeing can have far reaching and powerful results. But Corporate Wellness is a very broad area and often businesses can find it difficult to establish where available resource is best deployed and more importantly, how to measure any success.

Traditionally, employers have relied solely upon insurance mechanisms such as Private Medical Insurance, Group Income Protection and Cash Plans to manage their wellbeing obligations, and it’s fair to say that these types of policies can be extremely effective in addressing ill health, and are highly valued by staff.  However, despite their effectiveness, these mechanisms are reactive in nature and seldom empower businesses to address areas of health-risk which may exist within a workforce.

The days of referring to Wellbeing as a “lavish” or “unnecessary” are now behind us, and it’s refreshing to see such a significant upward trend in UK businesses investing heavily in the health of their staff.  The link between a healthy workforce and staff engagement, improved morale, reduced absenteeism and higher profitability is now well documented and helping clients on this journey is something we at Engage Health Group are passionate about.
