Poor health and wellbeing manifests as presenteeism (working through illness at reduced capacity and quality), absenteeism (sick days) and with anxiety, depression, distraction and demotivation particularly where there is a long-term condition or a diagnosis lacking.

​The adage, ‘prevention is better than cure’ has never been truer than in the context of health. Diabetes, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, cancer, insomnia and stress are some of the biggest health challenges of modern life – all of these can be addressed at a preventative level. However, minor illnesses (such as coughs and colds) were the most common reason for sickness absence, accounting for approximately 34.3 million days lost or 26.1% of the total days lost (National Centre for Social Research).
