Platinum Employer

Welcome to a New Era of the Workplace

Welcome to a new era of the workplace, where employees' happiness and mental health are at the core of business success.

Your workforce is the backbone of your business, and their wellbeing directly impacts your success.

With the challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, the workplace has witnessed a surge in resignations. There's a 10-year high in workplace absences, with stress accounting for 76% of absences in the past year 1. Mental ill health is the primary cause for long-term absence and costs the private sector over £46 billion, a 25% increase since 2019 2.

That's why we believe in early intervention, tackling staff challenges proactively, and taking action when issues arise. This is where our offering with People Experts, Breedon Consulting comes in.

Breedon Consulting are experts in Human Resource management and training services for business owners and managers across the UK. This collaboration allows us to provide business owners with a solution to the rising concerns of absenteeism, presenteeism, stress and burnout, employee engagement, retention and more.

An evidence-based approach to employee wellbeing that seamlessly integrates with HR management.

Money-Saving

Poor mental health among employees leads to significant costs in terms of absenteeism, high turnover, and presenteeism, with a projected expense of a staggering £46 billion for the private sector, as reported by Deloitte. What's striking is that these figures represent a 25% increase compared to 2019.

Two-fifths of employee turnover is now attributable to mental health issues, underscoring the importance of addressing this challenge. The heaviest cost, estimated at £28 billion in 2021, is associated with presenteeism.

Workplace absences in the UK have surged to a ten-year high, according to a recent report by the CIPD and Simplyhealth. Stress is now a significant factor behind both short and long-term absences, with 76% of respondents attributing their time off to stress-related issues in the past year. The report highlights mental ill health as the primary cause of long-term absences (63%).

These statistics show the critical need for an effective solution, making our partnership with Breedon Consulting an invaluable resource for organisations aiming to tackle these pressing issues and reduce costly workplace absences.

The Platinum Employer Package is an investment in reducing costs, creating a healthier, more productive workforce, and securing your organisation's financial wellbeing.
