About
Providing on-site or nearby medical facilities ensures that employees have access to immediate healthcare if they require it during the workday. This is particularly beneficial for employees with chronic health conditions or those who may require emergency care.
Having medical services available within the workplace or in close proximity helps employees manage their health more effectively while minimising the disruption to their work. It allows for prompt medical intervention in case of emergencies and provides a supportive environment for employees dealing with ongoing health issues.
Costs and Funding
The cost of establishing on-site medical facilities depends on the scale of services offered.
For small workplaces, this may involve providing access to nearby clinics or medical centres, while larger organisations may have dedicated healthcare staff or facilities on-site.
Employers may receive funding for workplace health initiatives through government programs or workplace wellness grants.
