Absenteeism drops, productivity rises, and health-insurance costs fall — that is the pattern European companies have reported for decades after building real public health and counselling programmes into their workplaces, an approach that has since spread to North America and Japan.

This training course by the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy shows how to build that same result: workplace health programmes that prevent disease, improve staff wellbeing, and let people work more efficiently.

This training course is designed for:

• Employees in health insurance companies.
• Administrators in public institutions and companies.
• Staff responsible for health care within institutions.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Monitor and evaluate labour productivity against employee health, identifying priorities and problems that push staff toward better health.
• Guide and encourage staff to take the necessary steps to improve their health and prevent disease.
• Educate employees on balancing work demands with health needs, including physical fitness practices.
• Identify and clarify the range of health problems staff may face.
