Health at work
The success of any business rests on the productivity of its staff.    Ill-health and absenteeism amongst employees can have a major adverse impact.  In 2009/10 in the UK, work-related stress alone caused an estimated 9.8 million lost working days (Source: Health and Safety Executive).  The strain of absent staff can also adversely affect the mental and physical health of other team members.

What are the estimated productivity losses in your business caused ill health?

Is there anything you can do to reduce this problem?

Optimal stress management, immune function, concentration and mood can be helped with nutritional therapy. The Olive Tree Clinic can help by educating members of your staff about healthy living.   A healthier workforce can impact productivity and morale, and cut absenteeism.
We can also teach your staff how to stay more awake and focussed throughout the day, minimising the daily energy slumps and lethargy which afflict so many.

We will be happy to discuss with you the best way of supporting your team through nutritional therapy. Some options include:

·      Personalised nutritional programmes for key executives

·      In house drop-in nutrition surgeries for employees for specific nutritional queries relating to their health

·      Wellbeing and heath advice during corporate retreats and team-building events

·      Providing short lunchtime seminars on aspects of nutrition: eg maintaining good energy levels, optimal body composition, how to get a good night’s sleep, minimising cardiovascular risk, 'flu beaters- supporting the immune system, PMS control measures, etc

·      Nutritional audit of canteen menus and food quality, consulting employees for food preferences and recommending changes in food selection and preparation to offer more balanced and healthy choices
