Every Smoker costs your organisation over £2500 pa

The fact is that smokers cost your organisation over £2500 pa more than non smokers. On average 28 days a year of productive time is lost for each smoker. Bloomberg also recently reported that, compared to non-smokers, employees who smoke:

• Take an additional 8 days off of sick leave a year
• Are more likely to perform poorly in the workplace
• Are more likely to be discharged for medical reasons and drug misuse

There is an additional employment cost for every 100 smokers in excess of £250,000 pa. And with the change in smoking legislation on the 1st July 2007, there has never been a better time to reduce this cost and improve productivity.
