A healthy workplace ...it's money in the bank

How?

Research shows that healthy employees in a safe, healthy and supportive workplace help businesses to keep a competitive edge. You will:

  • get – and keep – the best employees
  • keep absenteeism rates down
  • encourage employees to be fully productive
  • reduce the number of injury and illness claims
  • encourage a higher quality of work, more creativity and better client service

Promoting health

Promoting health in your workplace doesn't have to be complicated, expensive or time-con-suming. It could be as simple as re-organizing the work space, posting health and safety information, or encouraging employees to participate in decisions that affect their jobs. You decide what's right for your workplace.

Find out more about what you and your employees can do to promote health in your workplace.
