Occupational Health Awareness Week (18th -24th September 2023) is a campaign led by the Society of Occupational Medicine (SOM) and the Commercial Occupational Health Provider’s Association (COHPA) to raise awareness of the role of occupational health (OH) and the value it brings for organisations, individuals and society as a whole.
The theme for OHAW 2023 is the importance of occupational health for small and medium-sized businesses.
SMEs are currently five times less likely than large businesses to have OH support in place, and they and their people are therefore missing out on the huge benefits it offers.
Much of the time this is due to businesses being unsure about what occupational health actually is and how it can help them.
So, we’ve put together a handy ‘Back to basics’ leaflet answering some of the most frequently asked questions we get about OH from smaller businesses we work with, to help clear things up and help spread the message about why investing in employee health and wellbeing make sense for SMEs.
