Why was the Business HealthCheck tool introduced?
Dame Carol Black published a review of the health of Britain’s working age population, ‘Working for a healthier tomorrow’ in March 2008. Amongst a number of conclusions, the review found lack of information to use in a business case as is a barrier to employers investing in the health and well-being of their workforce. The Business HealthCheck tool is a step towards this process helping employers to measure and report on the benefits of such an investment.
