Three of the biggest challenges facing the utilities industry today:

Values icons

Aging workforce.

An aging workforce within the utilities industry has resulted in elevated levels of sickness absence across the sector, putting more pressure on staff to meet prodctivity demands. 

It's imperative that utilities organisations provide adequate support for existing employees, as well as improving their attraction and retention strategies to encourage younger workers to join the workforce.

Values icons

Legacy systems.

New technology has accelerated opportunities for better process management, yet many utilities companies still have a siloed approach to wellbeing. 

In order to streamline absence reporting and other HR processes, leaders must invest in replacing legacy systems with a futureproof approach to employee health management.

Values icons

Employee safety.

Working in the utilities industry can present a number of physical and mental health risks, from hazardous environments to long, unsociable hours. 

Employers must ensure that adequate health support is provided in order to quickly identify emerging health issues before they become a bigger issue.

How we help you solve them.

Improved EVP

Support your workforce and
attract the next generation.

“We would recommend GoodShape to other organisations who want to streamline processes and reduce absence.”

HR Business Partner
Heathrow Express

“... when we are alerted to
high levels of absence, such as musculoskeletal problems in the factory, we can proactively address them because we now have clear trigger levels in place.”

HR Director
Philips

“Across 11,800 staff, GoodShape helped to recoup 33,040 working days within 12 months - or the equivalent of returning 144 full-time staff to work.”

HR Director
NHS Trust

“We estimate that we’ve saved £152,000 in terms of increased productivity and efficiency savings. This means that the absence service has provided a great return on investment, and having more employees available to work gives us a far greater opportunity to deliver a good service for our customers.”
