Why is health of employees important to a company?

The Scottish Health Survey (1998) suggests that 68% of all 16-74 year olds in Scotland are considered to be inactive. Given the increased risk of ill-health that inactivity brings companies are likely to suffer. Time of work due to ill-health will decease productivity ad may cost the company in health insurance policies.

By increasing the activity levels and health of the workforce, companies can:

Reduce the number of days lost due to ill-health
Promote well being and increased productivity, maximising profits
Reduce stress related illness
Promote the image of the company

As taxpayers we could all benefit form an increase in health. By reducing inactivity from 69-49%, 3.5million could be saved due to falling admissions in the health service.
