A major concern of most business owners and managers is staff absence. Just last year the UK economy was hit by a loss of 12.2 bn through staff absence according to a survey conducted by the employersí group and insurance firm Axa.
The overall cost of 12.2bn has increased from 11.6bn in the previous survey. These figures represent the cost of covering salaries for absent staff, the resulting overtime and temporary cover, and lost service or production time. 1.7bn is due to staff pulling sickies rather than absence resulting from genuine ill-health.
There are many different reasons that cause a person to become ill, but with a healthy balanced diet the risks of getting ill are greatly reduced.
G&G Vitamins, a nutritional company based in East Grinstead, have commissioned the creation of a FREE nutritional deficiency test. This test, which is available online at www.vittest.co.uk can be used by Human Resources and staff to help determine nutritional deficiencies. The test is quick and easy and comes with free nutritional advice from a trained practitioner.
Jeremy Stephens, MD of G&G Vitamins comments: ìhere at G&G we provide our staff with free nutritional advice and a daily multi-vitamin supplement to help prevent against illness. Last year we launched the free online vitamin test to help provide people with a basic plan for their nutritional health. This year we have obtained the services of a qualified practitioner to offer a better service. We encourage other employers to try the vitamin test and help prevent staff illness. Maybe this year we can boost the UK economy with a healthy work force.î
