Health and Wellbeing Hub

As a leading provider of staff absence insurance, we know how disruptive absence can be on the day-to-day running of your school, as well as the long-term impact on school
performance. Which is why with every staff absence policy, we include access to a leading Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) to help the schools that we protect.

Available for all insured staff, The Health and Wellbeing Hub will help you with your ‘duty of care’ to your colleagues and may help prevent long and short-term absence.

Benefits to your school

Unlike some health and wellbeing services that offer passive support, The Health and Wellbeing Hub actively works to put your staff in control, meaning they can focus on the job you need them to do. This exclusive package:

• Increases employee wellbeing
• Enhances your school’s reputation to aid recruitment
• Supports your duty of care
• Supports absent team members
• May enhance staff retention
