# How Occupational Health combats the rise in wellbeing misinformation

 Date:  11/08/2025

## The latest [Global Risks Report from Zurich](https://www.zurich.co.uk/news-and-insight/global-risks-report-2025) highlights that misinformation is one of the top 5 leading risks to the world.

This is due to the rise in social media, and in terms of the health and wellbeing content constantly being shared - we’d have to agree.

It's predicted that misinformation will take over the top spot as the biggest global risk by 2027. That’s why we’re here to tackle the myths you may read online, and offer clinically validated health and wellbeing content.

We want the best for businesses and individuals, so every piece of content, treatment, resources that we share, is clinically validated by our extensive and ever-growing clinical teams. Whether it’s [MSK advice](https://www.ukim-oh.com/news/latest-news/musculoskeletal-problems-in-an-office-environment), [psychological advice](https://www.ukim-oh.com/news/latest-news/what-you-need-to-know-about-occupational-psychology-counselling), [general wellbeing](https://www.ukim-oh.com/news/latest-news/what-is-employee-wellbeing), nutrition, [sleep](https://www.ukim-oh.com/news/latest-news/lack-of-sleep-and-the-impact-on-productivity-in-the-workplace) etc - our clinical teams have extensive knowledge, and are able to cover it all.

There are many health trends on social media, and to be completely honest, what works for one person doesn’t mean it’ll work for another. Only clinically backed resources should be trusted to make sure that businesses and individuals have access to clear and safe information.

### **How can UKIM Occupational Health & Wellbeing help? **

Employees and business owner can be faced with information overload when seeking support. By investing in occupational health, you can help reduce absenteeism and presenteeism within your workforce. Due to a lot of health misinformation, employees aren’t getting the correct support they need and therefore are either attending work with poor mental / physical health or are on / considering sick leave.

At [UKIM Occupational Health & Wellbeing](https://www.ukim-oh.com/), our resources and advice are clinically validated by our in-house teams of psychologists, nurses, physiotherapists, technicians etc (the list really could go on…). We’re also regulated by professional bodies, so rest assured, only the best and safe resources and advice are available to support your staff and business.

### **Our services include:**

- [Pre-Placement Assessments](https://www.ukim-oh.com/our-services/pre-placement-assessment)
- [Case Management](https://www.ukim-oh.com/our-services/occupational-health-case-management)
- [Employee Wellbeing](https://www.ukim-oh.com/our-services/employee-wellbeing-strategies)
- [Physiotherapy](https://www.ukim-oh.com/our-services/physiotherapy-services)

- [Psychology & Counselling](https://www.ukim-oh.com/our-services/occupational-psychology-counselling)
- [Absence & Presenteeism Management](https://www.ukim-oh.com/our-services/absence-presenteeism-management)

### **How does Occupational Health and clinically validated resources benefit workplaces? **

It’s simple. Easy access to accurate, genuine, fuss-free resources and support makes it simple for employees to receive the help they need. This means that there’ll be a reduction in absences, less recurring absences, reduced presenteeism, higher productivity, and greater returns on investment (ROI).

There’ll be more proactive employees when it comes to work, and also their own health. We don’t use any complicated jargon; we go off the facts and this will encourage employees to actively listen and take onboard the advice we provide. Nobody likes complicated wellbeing advice, and that goes for employees and employers.

We support you as employers by making sure you receive the best possible advice and recommendations with no overly complicated information. As employers, it’s easy to get swept up in a lot of wellbeing and occupational health information, we make sure to tailor our services so that they suit your needs directly and ease your concerns.
