"If I can help at least one person, I've done my job!" | Charlie Foulger | Rapid Health & Wellbeing

In the construction industry, health and safety is paramount. Most companies in the industry, rightly, concentrate on the safety element, in order to protect their staff. However, the health part is often overlooked. "If I can help at least one person, I've done my job!" At Embassy Site Services, we have recently partnered with Rapid Health & Wellbeing to provide occupational health services for our staff. In our latest Spotlight Sessions podcast, Billy spoke with Rapid Health’s Charlie Foulger, who explained his crucial work across the industry. Charlie discusses how important health and wellbeing are for companies in construction, as well as the format of his health checks. He also highlights some success stories of how his services have helped people diagnosed with serious health issues and get the support they need. "If something is not right, listen to your body!"

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
