Employee Health Cash Plans for the Transport & Logistics Industry

For logistics and transport businesses that rely on drivers and warehouse teams, we provide practical, shift-friendly health support that helps reduce absence and keep operations running, without adding cost or admin. From as little as £4 per month^.

MSK issues are among the leading causes of absence

53%

Of professional drivers experience lower‑back pain, making it the most common musculoskeletal issue in driving roles.6

HGV drivers who sit for long periods are over four times more likely to suffer multiple MSK conditions compared to less sedentary workers.7

23%

Of transport drivers took time off work in one year due to back, neck or shoulder pain linked to their role.

Invest in a plan that provides dedicated MSK support for your shift-workers

£11 to £99 return for every £1 invested

By investing in a plan that provides dedicated MSK (musculoskeletal disorders) support, logistics and transport businesses could see a £11 to £99 return for every £1 invested in MSK intervention⁵ by reducing absence, downtime, and disruption across driving, loading, and warehouse operations.

How our plan supports MSK intervention in 3 practical ways

1

Fast access to physiotherapy support without disrupting shifts

Employees get rapid MSK guidance and recovery support through a digital app, helping drivers, warehouse staff, and operatives address injuries early. Conditions can be assessed in minutes, with 45% of users starting treatment within one hour of injury and 90% reporting reduced pain within one week⁴ helping keep vehicles on the road and operations running.

2

100% Cashback towards physiotherapy to prevent costly downtime

100% cashback for physiotherapy (up to policy limits) supports early treatment of musculoskeletal issues common in logistics roles.

  • Drivers and loaders are at higher risk of back, neck and shoulder pain due to manual handling and long periods of driving11.
  • With transport and storage among the highest‑risk sectors in the UK for musculoskeletal disorders11, early access to physiotherapy helps prevent minor injuries becoming long‑term absence, protecting delivery performance and workforce availability.
3

24/7 GP access for a workforce that doesn’t work 9 to 5

Round‑the‑clock access to a GP for confidential medical advice, diagnosis and electronic prescriptions

  • Designed for shift‑based operations, including night drivers, early starts and long or irregular routes
  • Supports employees working across depots, hubs and remote locations where GP access is difficult
  • Enables drivers to speak to a doctor from the cab or at home, outside standard surgery hours
  • Helps reduce time off for appointments, keeping drivers on the road and services running

Labour shortages remain a big issue

With labour shortages on the rise1 for both transport and warehouse operations, it isn't just MSK (musculoskeletal disorders) that cause disruption2

52%

of all work-related ill health cases caused by stress, depression or anxiety3 which also impacts logistics and transport sectors

62%

of all working days lost due to ill health3 also impacting logistics and transport sectors

2.4 mil

The International Road Transport Union expects the global truck driver shortage to exceed 2.4 million by the end of 20261.

£8 return for every £1 invested into an EAP

Reducing stress and retaining talent in both transport and logistics

Randstad’s 2023 workplace well‑being report shows that over a quarter of logistics workers took time off in the past year due to stress or mental health issues, and nearly one in five were considering leaving the sector within the next 12 months for the same reasons.

Businesses can see up to an £8 return for every £1 invested with an EAP5. Our plan can help your employees to return to work and recover through a confidential 24/7 helpline connecting employees with qualified counsellors for emotional, personal or work‑related challenges.

Empower your employees with constant access to vital support, alleviating the need to take time off work for appointments.
