Workplace Health and Wellbeing Services

Sickness absence is a significant financial burden for UK businesses, costing around £77 billion annually. With reduced productivity and lost output alone accounting for £55 billion per year, the average cost per employee is around £550.

By investing in employee health and well-being, you can lower these costs and help create a healthier, more productive workplace and see improvements in overall productivity.

At Healthworks, we offer a variety of free and low-cost services to help reduce sickness absence, improve morale, and boost performance in your workforce.

Our tailored workplace programmes are designed to help you:

• Enhance employee health and wellbeing
• Reduce staff sickness and absenteeism
• Boost productivity
• Attract and retain top talent

How we support organisations:

Workplace Health Checks

Preventive health screenings that detect early signs of serious conditions like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and more. Early detection means fewer sick days and lower costs for your business.

Free Stop Smoking Support

Our trained advisors provide one-to-one support proven to triple the chances of successfully quitting smoking – helping your employees live healthier, smoke-free lives.

One to one support to quit smoking

Quitting smoking is undoubtedly one of the most significant steps you can take to boost your health. However, we understand that it can be a challenging journey.  For people who are ready to embark on the path to a smoke-free life, we’re here to lend a helping hand!

Research shows that two-thirds of smokers express a desire to quit, yet most attempt to do so without any assistance, which is often the least effective approach. By seeking the right support, smokers increase their chances of successfully quitting by threefold. This is why we proudly offer complimentary one-on-one support sessions, available to all adults residing, working, or studying in Newcastle.

Free Cancer Awareness Training

Staff training to raise awareness of common cancers, the importance of early detection, and screening services. Early intervention can save lives and reduce time lost to illness.

We offer a range of engaging. interactive sessions that are open to individuals, workplaces, and community groups based in Newcastle, Gateshead, and some other areas in the North East (please reach out to us to confirm if your location is covered).
