Cardinus/HCML Clinical Interventions Reduce Lost Time Productivity

Managed Services from Cardinus Provide End-to-End DSE Solutions. Clinical Interventions Partnership with HCML Cuts Absenteeism.

London, United Kingdom, December 13, 2010 --(PR.com)-- An employee who has had six months off work due to work-related sickness or injury has less than a 50 per cent chance of returning to work, according to figures published in the British Medical Journal. Work-related ill health costs the UK economy £100billion a year.

To help combat these startling statistics, Cardinus Risk Management now offers companies proactive clinical intervention services – timely treatment from physiotherapists and physical therapists – to prevent injuries from getting worse, prevent sickness absence and help employees get back to work faster.

The clinical interventions, part of the Cardinus Managed Services programme, are provided by HCML, the UK’s leading independent provider of specialist medical and vocational case management solutions.

Jon Abbott, Cardinus Risk Management’s managing director – ergonomics and safety, said, “Cardinus now offers top quality, end-to-end, tactical and operational solutions to ergonomic risk. I’m delighted that our partnership with HCML creates a unique range of DSE services designed to work for the employer by reducing inefficiency and, importantly, reducing lost-time productivity and associated costs.”

The innovative Cardinus managed DSE programme is designed to mitigate employee risk at the earliest opportunity – when costs can be kept to an absolute minimum. The service is particularly useful for organisations that might have seen budget cuts and reductions to administration resources.

HCML is an independent case management company not aligned to any suppliers of ergonomic equipment. All its advice is based on the wellbeing of the individual and meeting clients’ needs.

Keith Bushnell, CEO of HCML, said, “We are delighted to be partnering with a quality organisation like Cardinus. Given the current tough economic climate, the introduction of this service to reduce avoidable absence and therefore improve productivity is very timely.”
