“Doctor Doctor give me the news, a prescription for business resilience”
If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the past 16 months, it’s that the health of our employees has never been more important. COVID has been a wake up call: until then the h in health and safety was silent. And silent in much of our business decisions. Our companies have legal advisors, security advisors, other advisors…but do they have health advisors, working with the executive team to ensure that our business strategy includes health risks? Not often. Yet the majority of our costs are our employees and programmes and plans that improve their health pay back in spades. This presentation explores the benefits of a health prescription for business resilience.
Dr Mark Parrish, Regional Medical Director, International SOS
