A healthy workforce is your clients’ biggest asset. While mental health conditions are the largest cause of employee absence in the UK – costing £42 billion per year – one in ten people also suffer as a result of a musculoskeletal issue, and these often interlinked conditions could be costing businesses a significant amount.

It is important your clients understand the relationship between mental and MSK health, in order to tackle workplace well being effectively. By implementing a holistic approach to dealing with both conditions, not only will it give them peace of mind, but it will also have a positive impact on their bottom line as fewer staff take time off to recover from illness.

Read more about the cost of MSK and mental health and what your clients’ can do to combat this in our latest eBook.
