Case Study & Testimonials
To get an understanding of how Premier contributes to business performance in working with clients, take a read of this section. Hear how Sericol used an organisational health audit to mitigate litigation risks and ensure legal compliance as part of their business protection - not to mention the benefits for employees.
Also how Silver Spring felt about the flexibility of our services in meeting their needs.
Sericol
Organisational health audit mitigates litigation risks, ensures legal compliance, protects Sericol's business and provides employee benefit.
Issue - Sericol wanted to ensure it was meeting its legal requirements for health and safety, and had concerns at the levels of industrial injury (and subsequent sickness absence) and wanted to establish methods for improvement.
Approach - Sericol engaged Premier to conduct an initial organisational audit that identified risks, reviewed compliance with health and safety legislation, and provided management with solutions in controlling sickness absence and its related costs.
Benefit - From the audit and introduction of occupational health policies there were improvements in return to work rates, fewer personal injury claims and management are confident that legislative requirements are being met. The investment in occupational health has provided a long-term financial benefit and productivity improvement with absenteeism reduced by 42% over two years.

"Personal injury claims and long term sickness absence were a financial burden. This prompted us to seek measures for improvement. Firstly we needed to check that we were complying with legislation but we also wanted to identify where we could make improvements that would reduce our costs."
