Saving your company money

Wellbeing Chiropractic Clinic Derby has a proven track record in industry. Over the last decade, we have worked with companies of varying sizes, from those with just a few employees, up to large public sector organisations with over 12,000! We know what is important. At Wellbeing Chiropractic Clinic Derby we are able to shield your business from some of the direct and indirect costs of sickness within your work force.

Examples of the costs your company incurs from day one of an employee absence/employee injury are:-

Statutory + Occupational sick pay
Replacement labour (in house/temp).
Additional overtime.
Increased Employer NI contributions for overtime payments.
Disruption to other departments.
Administration costs to arrange extra cover.
Stress to colleagues from increased workload to cover absence (taking up the slack).
Employee litigation-1999 TUC figures show 4 fold increase in compensation to £300m.*

* One small company was ordered to pay an employee with low back pain £90,000 - could your company survive this payment?

How can Wellbeing Chiropractic Clinic save your company money?

We are registered with all major insurance companies including BUPA, PPP, Standard Life and Norwich Union. If you have a company insurance scheme you should use it. Find out more...

We offer a fast appointment service which keeps your employees at work, thereby bi-passing the need to visit the GP and incur further delay.
It costs the GP nothing to sign off someone for 1-2 weeks, but it does cost your company. Most GP's think (incorrectly) that low back pain is self limiting read this article, and so usually prescribe pain killers and anti-inflammatories for the first 6-8 weeks.
For back pain, referral rarely occurs before this time unless it is a surgical emergency. This is extremely rare.
Cost effectiveness - our costs are small when compared to the just a single days absence cost as shown above.

Our Service Has Other Benefits.

Employees can self certificate - this is open to abuse - we can help reduce this.
Our service adds to the employment package. We can help stop the drain on skills - ask yourself how much does it cost for you to have to retire someone on ill health grounds or sack someone for ill health and then find a replacement and train them up?
If litigation is pursued by an employee at a later date, having had us on board means the company has gone far beyond its duty of care and can improve the company's legal position in any dispute.
We can give expert advice if surgical or medical referral is the best option, why? So you can decide if private referral provides a better cost benefit than waiting for the NHS.
We have dealt with companies which have prematurely paid out compensation to employees when they need not have.
An employee in pain will work with less productivity than his/her co-workers. This can lead to problems in the work place and demotivate other employees.
