Prior to 2020, Corporate Nursing was somewhat of an unknown phenomenon. While Corporate Nurses have been around for years, the pandemic has seen a surge in the requirement for these sorts of professionals to assist larger organisations to ensure they are taking the correct measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Corporate, or Company Nurses as they are sometimes known, are responsible for providing basic healthcare services to an organisation’s employees. Their daily role would generally entail the provision of first aid when needed, the promotion of employee health and the assessment of company health risks. In turn, this tends to improve employee retention and lower company healthcare costs.
Organisations are putting in place stringent measures in order to facilitate their employees returning to the workplace. In certain sectors, such as within medical device production, it is necessary for employees to return to the main workplace building(s), and so more businesses are investing in Corporate Nursing. Such nurses can then in turn perform regular health checks and educate employees on best practice in preventing the spread of the virus. Such health checks can include temperature checking and facilitating swab tests. They can also be an on-call resource if an employee presents to work symptomatic or if they are listed as a close contact. This alleviates the stress of such duties from management and reassures employees.
The answer to that is all. This can apply across the board, from larger MNC’s to smaller SME’S, and everything in between. The hiring of Corporate Nurses can be included in a company’s ”Return to the Office” strategy and is a great way of ensuring you are adhering to government guidelines and following the necessary protocol to get employees back in safely. This also does not necessarily just apply to critical services, but to those in a variety of industries including manufacturing, supply chain, production, and retail.

As the age-old saying goes, ‘If you love what you do, you never work a day in your life’. But how true is it? For most people, loving what you do comes at a cost. And loving what you do may not be as fulfilling as you’re led to believe. It is natural for humans … Continued
