WHY WOULD MY BUSINESS NEED IT?
An estimated 11 million days are lost through absenteeism every year at a cost of €1.5bn to the Irish economy*. Don’t be part of this statistic. Early intervention on sickness absence is key in supporting employees back to work quickly and safely, ensuring the best outcome for both the worker and the employer.
DayOne+ assists businesses in their duty of care to employees, with remote access to expert clinical advice from dedicated occupational health practitioners.
It can be used to support employees who are absent back to the workplace as effectively and efficiently as possible, while also ensuring they are cared for.
