A workforce health crisis is hitting UK employers.
Workforce ill health is one of the biggest and least-managed costs to small and medium businesses. Absence, presenteeism and churn sit directly on the bottom line — and smaller employers carry the disproportionate risk because most have no structured occupational health provision in place.

— The case for the Hull Resilience Hub
The Solution
One programme. Six integrated services. One local hub.
The Hull Resilience Hub combines occupational health, work GP, physiotherapy and mental health into a single, low-friction service for Hull SMEs — built around what actually keeps people in work.
Occupational Health
Pre-placement, absence management and periodic questionnaires — fully managed.
Rapid GP Access
Fast remote and in-person GP consultations for employees, on-demand.
Physiotherapy & MSK
Early intervention for musculoskeletal issues — the #1 driver of workplace absence.
Mental Health
Counselling, CBT and structured manager-referral pathways for staff who need support.
Health Checks
Proactive screening to identify risk early and manage workforce health upstream.
Return to Work
Structured case management to get people safely and sustainably back into role.
How It Works
Four simple steps from sign-up to measurable impact.
01 — JOIN

02 — ONBOARD

03 — ACCESS
Staff go live
Your people use the Hub’s services from day one.
04 — IMPROVE
Report Absence

The Economics
A fraction of what ill health already costs you.
Most SMEs are already paying for workforce ill health — quietly, in absence cover, agency staff, presenteeism and churn. The Hub turns that hidden cost into a structured, predictable, far lower one.
With the Hub
£50
per employee, per year.
★ Founding Offer
All six integrated services. One inclusive price.
No benefit-in-kind liability for the employer.
£0 for founding members for the first 6 months.
What Ill Health Costs Today
£500 – £3,000
per employee, per year.
Absence, presenteeism, churn, agency cover — before counting reduced productivity, slowed delivery, and the management time spent firefighting.
★ Founding Member Offer
Fully funded. For six months.
Hull City Council has seed-funded the Hub for its first 6 months. Founding members get the full programme at zero cost — and price protection thereafter.

National Alignment
The local answer to Keep Britain Working.
The Hull Resilience Hub is the operational delivery model for Sir Charlie Mayfield’s Keep Britain Working review — a national response to the £103bn a year that workforce ill health costs the UK economy, and the 2.8 million people now out of work because of long-term illness.
The Mayfield review called for a structural shift: from reactive sickness management to upstream, employer-led prevention — with smaller businesses given the same workforce health infrastructure that large employers already enjoy. The Hub is exactly that — delivered locally, in Hull, with the backing of Hull City Council.
Earlier intervention for the conditions that drive long-term absence Workforce health infrastructure for SMEs, not just large enterprises Prevention-led — not reactive — clinical pathways Measurable impact on absence, return-to-work and economic activity
“Helping smaller employers protect the health of their workforce is one of the single highest-leverage interventions available to the UK economy.”
