Know Your Numbers Week 2023 – Business toolkit
How can cardiovascular health affect your business?
Addressing high blood pressure early often improves the outcome of heart health for your employees and helps to reduce future healthcare needs and costs. Plus, keeping well means your team are able to be at their best.
Research has found that a slowdown on improvements in cardiovascular diseases in England and Wales could cost £54 billion in health and social care costs between 2020 and 20291. This includes heart disease and strokes.
That’s why it’s important for all businesses to prepare for Know Your Numbers Week.
From 4 to 10 September 2023, it’s all about blood pressure. Some of your team may have high blood pressure and not know. If left unmanaged, this can cause long-term health troubles.
See the assets below on how you can support your employees with heart health worries.
