Employers in North Tyneside and Newcastle are being offered free business support to improve staff retention.
Groundwork North East and Cumbria is offering free advisory services to employers in the area through the Connect to Work programme, which aims to help businesses retain staff who may be struggling with health conditions or personal challenges.
Support includes workplace adjustments, job redesign, and ongoing assistance designed to help staff remain in employment.
Craig Drummond, programmes manager at Groundwork North East and Cumbria, said: "We are issuing an urgent appeal to businesses in Newcastle and North Tyneside to use the free help available through Connect to Work to prevent losing good staff.
"We know recruitment is costly and time-consuming, and losing experienced members of staff can be unsettling for the whole company.
"We have the team and the expertise to help."
Mr Drummond said they work with businesses to address issues early and provide support so employees can stay in work, even when facing health concerns or complex personal circumstances.
He also said the service helps employers meet their responsibilities under the Disability Discrimination Act and the Workers’ Rights Bill.
