Back and Neck Pain

How much is your business affected by back pain?

We all know individuals who suffer from back pain but how much does it affect your business? Given that 80% of us will suffer from back pain at some stage its not surprising its one of the biggest causes of absence and one that costs companies dearly.

Do you feel more could be done when people are off work with back pain?

One of the reasons that back pain can be such a problem is that its often associated with long periods of absence from work. Whilst many people have a day or so off work there are others who have weeks and months away. Employers can feel that nothing is being done. They know their employees are suffering and the loss of productivity from days off work is costly for their business.

What can you do to reduce back pain?
