We bring together a powerful mix of clinical expertise, insight and service.

Founded in 2004, we were one of the very first absence management companies to operate in the UK. Since that time, we’ve evolved to become leaders in the employee wellbeing field, combining our in-house multidisciplinary clinical expertise with the latest technology and insight to deliver a much more progressive and impactful approach for our customers and their employees.

On average, our service:
  1. Reduces lost working time by 20-40%
  2. Recoups one working week per employee every year
  3. Helps employees return to good health and work sooner
  4. Receives a 4:1+ ROI and payback in 6 months

Who we work with.

We’ve partnered with over 200 major public and private sector organisations to help them transform the way they manage employee wellbeing, increase their operational efficiency, and ultimately create higher performing companies. We typically work with organisations with 2,000+ employees across multiple departments and sites.
