Wellbeing Consultancy

According to the Health & Safety Executive, in 2020-21, 38 million working days were lost to wok related ill -health, on average

6 days for Stress, depression or anxiety

4 days for Musculoskeletal disorders

During the Pandemic:

822,000 workers suffered from work-related stress, depression or anxiety, which accounted for 50% of all work-related ill health cases.

470,000 workers suffered from work-related musculoskeletal disorders

The most recent data shows that compared to all workers, females overall had statistically significantly higher rates of work-related stress, depression or anxiety.

The connection between emotional pain and physical pain is undeniable Dealing with one and leaving the other unattended is a job half done. During the Consultancy, I will review the full Wellbeing of your staff and provide tools (and therapy if required) to manage their emotional health.

FiXme can be consulted to review the employees who are claiming for MSD, Stress, Depression and Anxiety related problems and to provide a plan going forward.
The result will be

Faster recovery for the employee
Improved employee performance
Reduced Private Healthcare bill

Poor Posture Causes Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD)

As a Musculoskeletal Specialist trained in Computer Ergonomics (DSE Assessor), I am able to solve musculoskeletal aches and pains quickly and effectively by simply changing the way the user sits at their computer. Too often, DSE Assessments are carried as a ‘tick box’ service, which is unhelpful at best and dangerous at worst. Instead, I observe the user and then fit the computer to the user and not the other way around. For most sufferers, this is all that is needed, but to consolidate their improvement, I also provide the following:

1. Tools to keep their bodies in alignment
2. Education on how to use the body correctly
3. Simple exercises to strengthen core muscles
4. Strategies to develop healthy working routines

When sufferers consult healthcare providers for their MSD, they simply carry out the hands-on treatment and ignore the points above, which only serves to keep the sufferer in a cycle of dependency.

When the DSE Assessment has been carried out correctly and these additional strategies are in place, the sufferer recovers quickly, so reducing the number of sessions with their healthcare provider….and your company’s Private Insurance bill.
