Unlimited personalised advice for your healthcare business
The healthcare industry has many challenges
Peninsula is here to support you, while you provide care for others
The Healthcare industry is highly rewarding but extremely complex. Being a business owner or employer requires intense commitment and management. It’s always changing and you need to keep pace with your obligations to mitigate potential penalties.
To ensure you're caring for your employees as much as they're caring for your patients, Peninsula can draft tailored documents that meet all your employer obligations. With access to a 24/7 advice line, you can always get answers to your questions.
Many healthcare business owners are struggling with these common challenging issues
Hiring and onboarding
The right onboarding process offers support, training, and resources so new employees are productive and confident in their role.
Health and safety
Exposure to infectious diseases, hazardous materials, and physical strains from lifting patients are just a few of the safety risks in healthcare.
Mental health
Help your employees manage their mental wellbeing with access to qualified counsellors through our Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
Bullying and harassment
We can develop a workplace policy to set behaviour standards and advise on how to respond to workplace bullying and harassment.
We offer tailored solutions for these and many other HR and HSW business challenges based on your unique needs. Our team of experts can help you save time and money, allowing you to focus on providing patients with the highest quality care.
Enhancing Health and Safety in the healthcare industry
Due to the nature of their work, healthcare professionals and employees are high risk for workplace accidents and injuries.
Some of the hazards in healthcare include:
- Slips, trips and falls
- Fatigue (from extensive hours and shift work)
- Stress or anxiety
- Workplace violence (from patients or their family members)
- Bullying and harassment
- Faulty medical equipment
- Biological and chemical hazards
- Regular manual handling of patients and equipment.
To avoid these hazards or injuries from happening, you need to identify and manage risks within the workplace. A SafeCheck Review by one of the expert team at Peninsula can offer insights into Health and Safety compliance.
