Financial Services firms to tackle employee wellbeing

This relevant article in COVER Magazine from Unum UK highlights the health challenges of employees in the Financial Services Sector. Amongst the findings, the article reports that 37% of financial services sector employees took time off due to general health issues—well above the UK average of 29%.

Mental health continues to present significant challenges for many employers. This research shows that 38% believe their physical health worsened over the last year. The UK average was 24%.

HCB Group’s thinking is very aligned with this, as we have considerable experience in supporting financial service sector organisations with our Employee Health Management programmes. We’ve seen first-hand how health-related absences impact productivity, performance, morale, employee wellbeing and these tangibly impact the bottom line of an organisation. The good news is that the industry is now recognising the need for change and planning to increase investment in health and wellbeing strategies.

For financial services organisations looking to stay ahead, HCB Group’s Early Intervention and Employee Health Management service can mitigate these issues by addressing health concerns before they escalate, often averting absence at all, improving and accelerating outcomes for employees, and building healthier and more resilient workforce.
