• Two years into its new reward strategy, DENSO, a car air conditioning systems manufacturer based in Telford in the UK, is reaping the benefits of taking a pro-active approach to sickness absence. Health-related sickness absence is one of the biggest concerns for British business today. With these issues in mind, it is crucial that employers understand how the implementation of a strategic health management program can make a real difference -- showing staff that their health and well-being is of importance. In April 2005, DENSO implemented a healthcare cash plan for every member of its 1,450 strong team, from healthcare provider HealthSure. Over the course of the next five years, DENSO plans to steadily expand its benefits package, in-line with the needs and requirements of employees, at the same time as honoring its key environmental and social responsibilities. Moving forward, the company wants to work towards reducing its sickness absence levels further.
