UK absence levels are at their highest for more than ten years, with 1 in every 13 workers off on long term sick leave. Mental health issues are the main driver for long-term absence, and the top two causes of stress-related absence are workload and management style, with deadline pressure and relationships at work also factors. When we look at short-term absence, we see that - after minor illnesses - musculoskeletal injuries are the main cause.
These themes have also arisen from conversations with industry experts through Verve Healthcare’s Unlocking Workplace Wellbeing podcast series. Management capabilities, management role-modelling and workplace culture were identified as common contributors to stress-related ill health.
Our core services are designed to help your workforce when they are ill and to assess their current health. However, we know we can do more to help address wider issues within businesses earlier, helping fix non-healthcare issues like processes, managerial capability, team effectiveness and work-environment factors before they cause health problems for staff members.
