How Health and Safety Audits Promote Organisational Wellbeing
 

Health and safety management is often perceived as a box ticking or compliance exercise that adds no real value to a business. This attitude overlooks the real benefits to be gained by organisations who take a proactive approach to promoting employee health and wellbeing. Employers with strong health and safety records enjoy tangible business benefits like fewer accidents, lower insurance premiums, high employee morale and high productivity. An investment in health and safety is therefore an investment in the overall wellbeing of an organisation.
