With the CBI reporting that UK sickness rates are at a 20-year low, Benenden Healthcare’s Head of Business Development Amanda Ludlow feels it is telling that the biggest shift has been within the public sector. “We’re seeing them catch up with the private sector,” explains Amanda, who works with a broad spectrum of public sector employers on improving staff engagement by focusing on health and wellbeing. “You can conduct all the surveys you like and implement any strategy but, unless staff are feeling engaged, it won’t work. The answer is better communication, a sense of engagement and ownership – and we could make substantial savings in the public sector without staff or budget cuts.”
