Having spent 10years in Corporate Finance I witnessed firsthand the devastating affect that employee sick leave had on organisations. Being head of a department meant I had to manage the added work load of those employees off sick.

This was just one area, as there was also maternity leave to deal with, paternity leave, annual leave, compassionate leave along with the maze of statutory sick pay, maternity pay and general regulations that had to be adhered to with sick pay.

It caused more work for my team and me, especially when the sick leave became drawn out and immeasurable. I know I am not alone in the added pressure it causes as many companies all over the world are losing productivity and money through soaring sick pay costs.

Yet this can all be changed once HR departments, Department Heads, CEOs and Company owners understand the most effective way to stop employees needing to take sick leave.

Taking a look at some statistics for 2009/10 in the UK, there is so much money being lost in companies that is just not necessary.

For instance:

• *Sick pay that employers paid to workers with occupational illnesses and injuries was 960 million. That is without Statutory Sick Pay, which is paid out by the government.
• The loss of output is estimated to have cost between 7,010 to 10,240 million.
• The cost of ill health to the employer is estimated at 7.6 to 11.6 billion.
• The cost of ill health to society is estimated at 11.3 to 17.3 billion.

Having worked with many clients to help them understand the real physiological reason why staying positive and in high energy is so important, I turned my attention to those who regularly stayed in low energy and eventually went off sick.

You see I work with scientific facts in helping people to understand their energy. It is understanding that the human body works through the communication of energy. Scientists such as Dr Bruce Lipton have through extensive study proved that your cells take their signal from your beliefs not your environment. This signal is then transmitted through the body via the nervous system (the electrical system) and determines the frequency at which your body resonates.

Yes I did say frequency. All our interaction is done through vibrational frequency. As far back as 1920 we have documented clinical trials of a Dr Royal Raymond Rife who created a frequency monitoring machine which CURED 1,000 patients of cancer! Unfortunately when the pharmaceutical companies could not buy him out they trashed his laboratory and machine, unaware the proto type and notes were in safe keeping.

Since then Bruce Tanio has moved this work on, mainly in being able to identify frequency in plants, soil and essential oils. However it has allowed scientists to now determine the frequency of the human body.

• A healthy body is 78 to 83Hz
• Colds, flu and illness begin at 56 to 60Hz
• Cancer receptors are there at 42Hz

So you see the lower the body frequency, the more the immune system becomes compromised and so illness begins.

Now let’s relate this to the workforce. Very simply when employees move into lower frequency, they get ill! Anytime I work with clients and I hear the phrase ‘You will have to excuse me, I have a rotten cold that I can’t seem to shift’ I immediately know they have moved from the healthy 78 to 83Hz down to the 56 to 60Hz region and this automatically tells me there is resistance going on in their lives.

All illness, without question is a physical manifestation of resistance in the body. Putting this in energetic terms, it means the frequency has lowered and for the frequency to have lowered, then the person’s beliefs must also have moved into lack, as we know the ‘beliefs determine the frequency of the body’.

This is where I do my work; in helping clients understand what the resistance is that moves them into low frequency (energy). Resistance can be many things, it usually stems from a lack of self belief or self worth, a loss of confidence or feeling out of control. This can be caused in their personal or business life through events, stress or issues not being address and more importantly through an individual not understanding the foundations of all wealth be it financial or emotional comes from defining who they are and living their passion.

How can HR departments, department heads, CEOs and company owners use this to prevent sick leave? It is all about knowledge, when you can educate your workforce to understand and recognise the body frequencies, to be able to focus on staying in high energy (frequency), then they will see a significant decrease in sick leave.

It is essential that managers and executive leaders can recognise the signs of their employees going into lower frequency and this can be seen when an employee is stressed, anxious, angry or upset. Procedures need to be put into place to allow these employees to have 1 to 1 mentoring to help them unravel the cause of the resistance and learn how to maintain consistent high energy.

Sick leave can be dramatically reduced and if effective action is taken can be near enough illuminated. I know, I have not been ‘ill’ in over 13 years and understanding the body frequency is the key.
