Sick days cost British industry alone £13 billion per annum, with the loss of 175 million man days. Across the globe, worldwide corporations are suffering from higher rates of illness in their work force, and therefore higher rates of sick leave, pushing the cost ever higher. Often, a company's most valuable asset is its people and so as a result they are increasingly providing wellness programmes and even in-house clinics in order to look after their workforce and minimise employee absence.
Crosscare provides a fully hosted web accessed clinical software system that allows the monitoring of sick leave, patient conditions and subsequent treatment. It has translation facilities, making it multilingual and allowing a global wellness programme to be maintained irrespective of office location and language required. It utilises the latest clinical coding system that is fast becoming a worldwide standard and already adopted by a number of major countries, making the transfer of medical records around the world straight forward and simple.
Appointment reminders are sent directly to employee's Outlook accounts, and they can complete questionnaires online without even having to visit the clinic. The Corporate Medical Record card, ideal for regular business travellers, also means the workforce can carry their medical details with them on a credit card sized smart card, wherever they are based.
Analysis tools allow the global wellness team to monitor the reasons for sickness, and adapt preventative programmes accordingly. This is where Crosscare can help to save major corporations significant time and money. By targeting the reasons for sickness, and reacting accordingly, levels of absence can be reduced and employees reassured they are receiving the best possible in-house care, increasing employee retention levels and potentially saving the business millions of pounds on a global level. Reporting can be done at a local level or at the global corporate level, allowing local teams to react according to their own specific issues, but allowing the global wellness team to centrally monitor the overall workforce around the world. Ensure your employees remain healthy, and in turn ensure your business remains healthy.
