Epassi UK report: The time for prevention is now
An ageing workforce, faltering NHS and soaring private health costs mean employers must step in urgently to avert a crisis in their workforces.
As the UK faces mounting healthcare and demographic challenges, the role of employers in championing preventative healthcare has never been more critical.
Data reveals a stark reality:
- £30bn is lost annually due to an average of 6.7 sick days per employee.
- 40% of the NHS budget is spent on preventable diseases.
- Chronic conditions like diabetes and musculoskeletal issues are contributing to record high private medical insurance premiums.
With an ageing workforce, increasing pressures on the NHS, and the rising cost of private healthcare, proactive strategies are no longer optional - they are essential.
The time for prevention is now: why health assessments are a must for the modern workplace report looks at the benefits of a preventative approach, including:
- How preventative health assessments can reduce absenteeism and long-term healthcare costs.
- The financial and organisational benefits of fostering a prevention-first culture in the workplace.
- Practical solutions to empower your workforce and future-proof your business.
Prevention is more than just a strategy - it’s the foundation of a healthy, productive society.
