BACK PAIN

Low back pain is a common disorder. Nearly everyone is affected by it at some time. For most people affected by low back pain substantial pain or disability is short lived and they soon return to normal activities regardless of any advice or, treatment they receive. For stats about back pain, click here.

Depression also plays a significant role in chronic pain, taking just a few steps to get ahead of it can help patients appreciably by giving them more control over their personal situation and soon return to normal activities. But for some, adaptations, assessments and workplace considerations may be required on a temporary or long term basis. Stats, information and research papers are available here. Check out these 4 Tips, to Help Cope With Chronic Pain and Depression.

ARTHRITIS

In the UK, more than 10 million people have arthritis or other, similar conditions that affect the joints. Arthritis affects people of all ages, including children. Click here for more information.

ABSENCE IN LABOUR MARKET

Advising of small adaptations, considerations and scheduled reviews to help employees manage their condition, are some of the ways Wyvern help with workplace wellbeing.

Employee absence can have visible and hidden consequences including:

  1. Pain and discomfort for the employee
  2. Possible financial loss for the employee
  3. Frequent/long term absence can be detrimental to continuous personal development, thereby limiting promotional opportunities

Take a look at the sickness absence rates of workers in the UK labour market, including number of days lost and reasons for absence.

How Wyvern is helping organisations:

To be able to employ a diverse workforce, need to consider demographics within the workforce:

  • Disabled People: They may have special needs for furniture, software, accessories and adaptations
  • Older population: They may have ‘age’ related conditions where they may need additional support with furniture, accessories and even software
  • Back pain: As we’ve seen one of biggest causes of absenteeism in UK. People need the right equipment and posture
  • Acute and chronic pain can cause depression and mental illness: Employees need to help alleviate pain wherever possible
  • Appropriate training: The right assessment, training and support can promote workplace health and wellbeing

If you would like to find out more about any of the above, whether enhancing your diversity and equality objectives, or have existing challenges, please get in touch with Wyvern’s Head of Commercial, Paula Marshall at paula.marshall@wbs.uk.com.
