There is a high risk that the number of people with serious physical health conditions will increase in the next 10 years – costing the UK over £20 billion due to premature deaths caused by heart disease, stroke and diabetes alone.
The potential for increased absence and decreased quality of life from physical and mental health problems and how workplace factors impact upon our health mean that valuing health and wellbeing in the workplace makes good business sense. It is also a practical demonstration that employers accept their wider social responsibilities.
Despite the current focus on stress, managers need to be aware that physical conditions, such as musculoskeletal disorders, pose potentially greater problems for their employees and for their whole organisation.
