What are you working on at the moment?
Employers are benefitting from improving the health of the people that work for them. There is a growing body of evidence which shows the financial benefits enjoyed by businesses that form a health and wellbeing strategy and implement a plan to achieve the strategy’s goals.
A working health and wellbeing strategy can reduce sickness absence, demonstrate an employer’s duty of care, improve productivity and reduce staff turnover, but the overarching aim should be to improve the health and wellbeing of the company’s employees.
If that sounds scary and “too corporate for me” then be assured that we recognise the importance of accessible health and wellbeing solutions for all – “real world” solutions, for example helping employees to easily access GP & dental appointments. No business is too small to consider this; we work with the whole SME range, looking for affordable and sustainable solutions to allow them to meet the challenges within their businesses.
What do you like about Mansfield Innovation Centre?
A supportive and friendly management team who go out of their way to build a community atmosphere. Good facilities, the best café – those bacon butties!, free parking and easily accessible for staff and visitors.
What are your ambitions for the future of Towergate Health & Protection?
Our ambition is to be the first choice provider of private healthcare and wellbeing solutions for all.
Tell us about you…
We are a small team of (slightly crazy) ladies who genuinely enjoy what we do and working together. Currently juggling and supporting each other through families on school holidays, pets, a house move, a house renovation, Chloe’s first home purchase, teenagers on the rampage in Cornwall and life in general! We look forward to talking to you.
