Rhythm for Corporate life: a new approach for employee health and wellbeing

"The health and wellbeing of employees makes an essential contribution to business success" Professor Dame Carol Black National Director for Health and Work

In 2009 the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) estimated the cost to UK employers due to work-related stress, anxiety and depression was £28bn. This represented 13m working days lost.

Your people are everything

People are the heartbeat of every company. By promoting the physical and mental health and wellbeing of their employees, businesses can shape healthy workplace communities in which staff are productively engaged with their work and with the people around them; where absenteeism is low and retention levels are high; where people are proud to work for the company and encourage others to join, diversify and enrich the company; where people in the wider community feel good about the business, so buy its products and services and help sustain and develop the company as a profitable enterprise.

"The health and wellbeing of employees is mission critical to the ongoing recovery of the UK" Louise Aston Director, Business Action on Health

The drum plays a unique and key role in enabling people to experience the health benefits of rhythm therapy and recreational music making and is suitable for all ages and levels of ability.
