Introduction

Motive8 Group have teamed up with Dr Andy Middlebrooke, exercise physiologist and expert in exercise and cardiovascular disease, to design and facilitate a corporate health and performance assessment and aftercare model.

The spiralling expense of employee absence and ill health has been well documented. It has become a big financial burden, costing UK industry on average £11.6 billion each year (CBI Absence and Labour Turnover Survey, 2006).

It is estimated that 187 million working days are lost per year (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, 2006). This translates as around 8 days per employee, in total 3.4% of working time. In an average City-based firm this equates to an expense of £1200 a day. Critically, the average saving from implementing an integrated health management programme is approximately 1% of the payroll figure.

Motive8 are experts in their field, with vast experience of working with elite sports people in order to achieve peak physical performance, with a strong background in sports science and rehabilitation. This has allowed the delivery of successful health and fitness programmes to a wide audience for over ten years.
