Workplace Back Pain Workshop
We’ve Got Your Back: Busting Myths About Posture, Pain, and Staying Comfortable at Work
Why Invest in Workplace MSK Health?
Fewer Sick Days, Better ProductivityMusculoskeletal (MSK) issues, such as back pain and repetitive strain injuries, account for 28% of all work-related ill health in the UK (HSE Statistics). Employees with MSK conditions lose an average of 18 working days per yeardue to sickness. Research shows that incorporating small, frequent movement breaks can reduce long-term sickness absence (30+ days) by 12.8% (Nature Scientific Reports).
A Cost-Effective InvestmentThe financial impact of MSK disorders on UK employers is estimated at £7 billion annually (Public Health England). However, for every £1 invested in employee well-being, businesses see a return of £5 due to reduced absenteeism and improved productivity.
Happier, More Engaged EmployeesEmployees who feel supported in their health are more motivated, loyal, and engaged. Businesses that prioritise well-being experience 25% lower staff turnover (Public Health England). Creating a culture where movement is encouraged leads to happier, more productive teams.
