      All companies prize their most valuable assets, their office space, their delivery fleet, anything that they need to get the job done in the most efficient manner. Especially in the world of Small Business it is absolutely a priority that everything runs as smoothly as possible. To this end all good bosses make sure that evrything in the workplace is insured, except for their most valuable asset: their employees.

      Without their employees to man the office or the delivery vans then the entire company might fall apart at the seams. If this is the case then why are so many businesses reluctant to insure their people? Of course, we all know that there is no thing as a free lunch, but this can also be said about your company health insurance plan, but if the workforce is so vital then it too has to be insured.

      There is a recession I know, but only those companies that do everything in their power to keep all their assets intact, will come sailing out at the other side, and those that take great care with their employees will be in the best position to retain them when the economic climate gets much better! So look after your most valuable assets before rushing to insure all the other material things are secured.

      One of the things that the newspapers report often is how much it costs industry in terms of money when work days are lost to illness.

      In some industries, the rates are higher than others - this could be for a number of reasons, including things like the stress levels of the job, or it could be to do with slightly more worrying things like flu epidemics.

      But in the general run of things, most people are at work every working day with only a small fraction of the working year (if any) lost to illness. Businesses take care of employees more and more these days partly in order to keep up with the ever changing health and safety legislation, but also out of a sense of duty to their employees - by adding value to the job and valuing the individual, it makes good business sense as well as keeping the people happy.

      The things a business can do to encourage confidence in individuals are many - it could be simple things like installing a good quality water cooler, offering discounted gym membership, or offering corporate medical insurance.

      Investing in the workforce has been the norm for a good while now, and it is a trend that is set to continue as businesses build on the idea that a healthy and confident workforce is the strongest asset available.
