Men not at work

Don't let employee absence
harm your business

Construction employees take on average nearly six sick days each year. The average cost of absence is £582 per employee, per year* in the construction industry.

But help is at hand. We've teamed up with Westfield Health to offer B&CE's Employee Healthcare Plan relevant to construction employers, employees and their families. It helps cover employees essential health costs, and includes treatments that can help prevent common health conditions associated with construction from becoming chronic.

And as well as being affordable and flexible, it's a great way to help cut the cost of employee absence, and help sick and injured staff back to work faster.

It's available to both operatives and clerical staff - and all from just £1 a week, per employee.
