Check out this guide from the Society of Occupational Medicine - Essential reading for organisations assessing their wellbeing partners. It highlights the importance of choosing providers with the right clinical qualifications, solid evidence bases, and who deliver a long-term impact. We want to see organisations invest wisely in their providers and see real returns!

Many providers and managers of institutions that sponsor occupational health services do not take the time to study occupational health services and never appreciate how it differs from conventional personal health. Their half-baked initiatives may perform with disappointing result as a business and fail to meet their potential in providing health care. Careless managers then write off the potential of occupational health care when it was their model that failed.

To the irresponsible providers and the clueless managers please get yourself in the know! Stop wasting time and money.

Before you sign up to OH/health tech/pharma or whatever is going round and round in your mind, have you considered: ⭐️ What your deeper reasons are for this move?
