Easy Ways Employers Support Employees With Diabetes
Summary
In fact, absence from work due to type 2 diabetes, in particular, has been found to cost employers in the region of $20 billion every single year, according to a report by the Society for Human Resource Management. One way to achieve this is to put policies in place that will ensure that the employee is treated fairly without prejudice, while protecting the organization at the same time. Urging employees to wear special diabetic socks to relieve the neuropathy will not only improve personal comfort, but boost productivity as well. It is also important to have the necessary medical policies in place to ensure that employees with diabetes are assessed for safety risks and receive the support they require. Additionally, employees who need to keep well-hydrated and snack regularly to stabilize blood glucose levels should be allowed to keep their food and water bottles in close proximity to where they are working.
