Health management within organisations is an issue which is gaining increasing significance for managers. Not only are there many more reported incidents of litigation related to workplace health but organisations are now able to really count the costs of inadequate provision for a healthy workplace on their bottom line profitablity. A good deal of costs incurred is the result of absenteeism (genuine or non-genuine). Organisations are now giving serious consideration to this important subject.
