Doctor-led Obesity Management for Corporates

Boost workplace productivity and employee health with our HRDC Claimable Corporate Programme, featuring world-leading clinical support for addressing obesity.

Understanding obesity in the workplace

Obesity is a long-term health condition that leads to significant workplace barriers. Evidence repeatedly shows that employees face discrimination at each stage of employment: they are less likely to be hired or promoted - and are more likely to have reduced salaries when compared to healthier weight colleagues.
Employees living with obesity may experience:
  • Reduced work capacity and productivity
  • Increased mental health conditions
  • Higher sickness absences
  • Weight stigma and bullying
  • Increased absenteeism and presenteeism

"All workplaces, particularly large organisations and local authorities should address the prevention and management of obesity, because of the considerable impact on the health of the workforce and associated costs to industry."

The National Institute for Care Excellence (NICE)

Obesity's impact on employee health

Over 200 health conditions are linked to obesity, which can contribute to employee absenteeism, reduced performance and increased costs, as well as affect your team’s quality of life. Just a few include:
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Poor mental health
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Musculoskeletal issues (e.g. lower back pain)
  • Sleep apnoea
  • Female infertility
