Keeping people safe, protecting your business

Why employee health & engagement matters

Employers face increasing pressures: changing ways of working, mental health challenges, musculoskeletal issues, and the need to retain talent in competitive markets. Common challenges include:

  • Rising sickness absence and limited capacity to manage complex cases
  • Inconsistent approaches to wellbeing, stress and reasonable adjustments
  • Managers lacking confidence to have early, supportive conversations
  • Hybrid/remote working concerns—DSE, ergonomics and connection

impact HR brings proportionate, evidence based support so you can improve wellbeing, strengthen engagement and meet your duty of care—without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.

  • Our approach

    We tailor our support to your size, sector and goals, focusing on practical steps with clear outcomes:

    • Discovery & Data Review – We analyse absence, engagement feedback and case trends to identify hotspots and priorities.
    • Stress Risk Assessment – Organisation wide and task/team level assessments aligned to HSE principles, with targeted action plans.
    • Policy & Process Refresh – Clear, accessible guidance for managers and employees (e.g. absence management, DSE, adjustments, OH referrals).
    • Manager Capability – Training and toolkits for confident conversations: attendance, mental health, ergonomics and early intervention.
    • Targeted Interventions – DSE programmes, workload reviews, job design and team briefings to address root causes.
    • Engagement & Communication – Campaigns and resources that build trust, participation and sustained behaviour change.
    • Measurement & Reporting – Clear KPIs (e.g. absence, presenteeism, engagement signals)
  • Health and Safety for SMEs
