Health

Alcohol is linked to more than 60 medical conditions, including various cancers. It sounds like a cliché, but a healthy workforce is a happy, productive one.

By helping to educate employees on recommended alcohol limits and units, the risks of drinking at or above these limits and the benefits of cutting down, employers can play a part in safeguarding the health of those who work for them.

Although a worthwhile outcome in itself, this will also help to safeguard the health of your business – helping to avoid damaging sickness absence and protect valuable productivity.

It’s not just the long term health damage that alcohol does that can impact on business. The short term impacts, such as hangovers, can have a significant impact on the workplace – leading to reduced concentration, reduced productivity, tiredness and mistakes. In a worst case scenario this could lead to an accident, particularly dangerous in manual jobs which involve driving or operating machinery.
