NEBOSH Certificate in the Management of Health Wellbeing at Work

With employee absence costing business £17billion in 2009 organisations can benefit from staff taking this qualification. They will be better placed to manage difficult employee issues such as absenteeism and high staff turnover, staff physical and mental wellbeing resulting in significant cost savings. Healthy workers can be almost 3 times more productive than their unhealthy colleagues - Research commissioned by Medibank Private (2005). An average direct cost of absence was £595 per employee i.e. salary costs of absentees, costs for replacements and time lost in service or production in 2009 setting a new record high, 12% higher than previous, the indirect cost was £465. Loss of productivity, cost of sick pay and staff cover are the biggest costs of absence. Research has proven that proactive attendance management practices help reduce absence levels with the role of line managers being crucial in helping to manage absence and improve attendance
