Thinking Differently

Most organisations believe they have visibility on workforce health. They track absence, review claims data and analyse utilisation. On paper, that feels comprehensive. Yet hidden ill-health continues to build beneath the surface. Workforce risk rarely starts with absence. It begins earlier, in the quiet stage of pleasanteeism, long before cost becomes visible. The next evolution of workforce health is not about adding more benefits. It is about shortening the feedback loop

Sir Charlie Mayfield’s Keep Britain Working report arrives at a defining moment for the UK. With over one in five working-age adults out of work due to health issues, the link between work and wellbeing must be rebuilt. At Lime, we share this mission — to keep Britain working by keeping Britain well.

Health Without Hierarchy explores why fairness is the future of workforce health. It challenges the limits of traditional “group health” models, showing how unequal access to care creates health and performance gaps. The article highlights a new approach built on prevention, equity and universal access, where wellbeing becomes a shared standard, not a selective benefit.

Most organisations see absence rates and rising costs — but not the real cause behind them. Beneath the surface lies an invisible health gap affecting 86% of the UK workforce. This gap isn’t just about access to care — it’s about lost time, hidden costs, and untapped potential.

Employee healthcare isn’t just about wellbeing apps or fitness perks, it’s about time saved. In conditions like sepsis or heart disease, every hour of delay can mean the difference between recovery and tragedy. Employers who provide rapid access to urgent care don’t just support wellbeing; they save lives, protect families, and safeguard businesses.

Our landmark Pleasanteeism research uncovered a reality that many people experience daily. The pressure to appear okay when you are not. Over half of UK workers say they feel they must put on a brave face at work, while a quarter are struggling to cope altogether.

Whole of workforce healthcare care is not only possible, it’s essential. And it starts with a mindset shift: from health as a perk for the few, to health as a right for all.
