Health and Wellbeing Plan for manufacturing

Manage physical strain and health issues early, reducing avoidable disruption to production. From as little as £4 per month^.

Absence is a performance risk

When employees are off sick, production slows, and overall output takes a hit.

£1.7B

The total cost in 2023/24 is estimated at £1.7 billion from work-related ill health and workplace injury in Manufacturing1.

2.7M

In Manufacturing around 2.7 million working days (full-day equivalent) were lost each year between 2022-20251.

£30k

is the average cost to replace one employee (recruitment, training, lost productivity, and knowledge loss)4.

We support manufacturing teams before issues turn into downtime

Up to £99 return for every £1 invested into MSK intervention

By investing into a plan that offers MSK (musculoskeletal disorders) support, your business could see £11 to £99 returns for every £1 invested into MSK intervention3. Our plan combats this in three ways:

1) Fast access to physiotherapy support for MSK guidance and recovery through a digital app. Assess any condition in minutes and get the right care. 45% of users start treatment within 1 hour of injury and 90% of users report less pain within 1 week2.

2) Cashback benefits for physiotherapy to help staff address common physical and health issues early, before they disrupt production.

3) 24/7 GP service offering confidential medical advice, diagnosis and electronic prescriptions.

£8 return for every £1 invested into an EAP

Businesses can see up to an £8 return for every £1 invested with an EAP (Employee Assistance Programme)3. 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 support for mental health and wellbeing, alleviating the need to take time off work for appointments.
