Absence days are becoming an increasing concern to businesses within the UK.

Getting a Doctor’s appointment outside of working hours is becoming difficult and frustrating for employees, desperate to seek medical aid.

The combination of waiting up to 10 days for an appointment and missing important meetings is leaving ill individuals in a vulnerable position. A large percentage of ill employees continuing to work whilst desperately waiting for a Doctor’s appointment. This is not only a growing concern for the wellbeing of your employee, but it is also putting other workers at risk of infection.

With absence numbers increasing year on year, businesses are not only taking a hit financially but also within their departments.
