There has never been a more important time than now to proactively help your employees manage their Mental Fitness & Wellbeing. Organisation wide, mental fitness strategies are essential but not currently widely utilised.87% are uniquely placed to help your most important asset, your people by giving them the tools to monitor and manage their mental wellbeing day to day and help prevent issues arising in the first place, whilst at the same time linking all of your key organisational metrics to give a direct link from Mental Fitness to organisational productivity, efficiency and overall health.

Large organisations still don’t have all the answers to Employee Health & Wellbeing. Most have the traditional services you would be familiar with such as Occupational Health and Employee Assistance Programs, but in isolation, these aren’t always as effective as they should be. An organisation needs to fully understand what is happening with its employees’ health and wellbeing, as it is happening. It needs to be able to see what the detailed, focused data and trends are telling them in real time so that proactive, effective strategies can be put into place and changed quickly as the picture shifts. The number of organisations doing this in the UK currently and getting it right are surprisingly few.Medigold Health offer all the traditional services you are all familiar with, however that was not enough for us. As an industry leading, forward thinking innovator, we had to offer more. That bigger picture that is employee health and wellbeing had pieces missing from the jigsaw puzzle.Building Absentia - a Day One Absence Management Service from the ground up in partnership with our clients has helped them join the dots on their wellbeing strategies, whilst also reducing overall absence levels by as much as 63% and improving productivity and efficiencies by regaining thousands of working days.Employees are healthier, happier and at work and employee wellbeing is no longer a dark art organisations could never hope to master.
