An Open Letter to Employers![]() Dear Employer,
More and more, businesses are taking the health and happiness of their employes into account. This comes as a natural result of modern regulation, feedback services and social concern for wellbeing - as well as the national spotlight falling on a small minority of abusive employers.

Yours in Health, Robert David, M.Ost (Clinic Principal)
