Tax-Free Health Screenings: Safeguard Key Employees

1. Tax Benefits of Health Screenings for UK Businesses

Investing in tax-free health screenings brings large benefits to your team. A health screening can help them stay healthy and productive. Even better, these screenings are completely tax-free for employees, directors, and companies alike.

In today’s high-tax environment, this is an important opportunity for UK businesses. It’s a “double win” that boosts both employee wellness and financial efficiency.

2. Protect Your Most Valuable Assets: Key Employees

Over 50% of UK businesses consider losing key individuals to be their greatest risk. The serious illness of a key team leader, board member, or director can significantly impact not only their productivity but also team morale, project timelines, and overall financial stability.

Imagine if you, or another key team member, had to step away from work for months. What would happen to daily operations? Could it jeopardise important projects? Would it affect profits and the stability of your business?

These questions underscore the substantial risks that ill health poses to any company. Small family businesses face this risk as much as—if not more than—larger companies. Whether you’re a close-knit team of two or a large company with 2,000 people, your team members are your most valuable assets.

Regular health screenings can help safeguard your team’s well-being. Good health means key individuals stay healthy, focused, and ready to contribute to your company’s success.
