Occupational Health
Governments around the world are asking organisations to not just preserve employee health, but to promote it. Often, setting requirements through local health and safety regulators.
The opportunity is great: improved employee health can lead to increased productivity, reduced injuries, improved safety, and reduced healthcare costs. Thus, wellness programmes targeted at improving employee health are becoming increasingly popular.
However, the task of delivering a globally consistent wellness programme that navigates complex local legislation/requirements, can be daunting.
