But help is at hand. We've teamed up with Westfield Health to offer B&CE's Employee Healthcare Plan relevant to construction employers, employees and their families. It helps cover employees essential health costs, and includes treatments that can help prevent common health conditions associated with construction from becoming chronic.
This includes the cost of dental treatments, eye tests, therapy treatments and consultations and fast access to diagnostic scanning facilities including MRI, CT and PET scans. It also provides a full Employee Assistance Programme. And the online Personal Health Risk Assessment can help safeguard the health and wellbeing of both your workforce and your business.
And as well as being affordable and flexible, it's a great way to help cut the cost of employee absence, and help sick and injured staff back to work faster.
It's available to both operatives and clerical staff - and all from just £1 a week per employee.
