Health For Work Advice Line

For the UK’s millions of small and medium-sized businesses, the impact of employee absence through illness can be huge.

That’s why the free ‘Health for Work Adviceline’ has been created by the NHS. The adviceline provides small business owners and managers with the expert advice and support they need to help team members being affected by ill health.

Many managers will have experienced how the health of an individual impacts on their performance. Millions of working days are lost each year because of problems like back pain, while work-related mental health issues such as stress, anxiety and depression are increasing. It is now more important than ever for employers to:

• Find the advice they need today to support an employee experiencing ill health
• Develop a plan to effectively and sympathetically deal with employee sickness absence
• Establish how to deal with similar problems in the future, should they occur
• Think differently about your business and how to make it a healthy workplace
