This report synthesises the evidence from the scientific
and wider literature to demonstrate that there is a rounded
business case for investment in occupational health
services based on wide-ranging and sometimes intangible
factors. Well-integrated evidence-based workplace health
initiatives are associated with improved employee health
status and productivity in the workplace.
Research supports the proposition that investments in
occupational health add value through reduced costs
associated with the prevention of ill health, improved
productivity and a range of intangible benefits.
Consequently, this report aims to define the value
proposition of occupational health beyond the mere
financial return on investment.
