How to lower the sickness absence statistics

This question is for those who has a job in a big company.
How does YOUR company deal with this problem?

Mine has started a training program that employees can particpate once a week. Basically, we get paid 1 hour per week to go to the gym that we have in the building. We also tried to start a "5 a day"-fruit program. But apparently, it was too expensive...

Are there any effective ways to decrease the sickness absence?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I work for the Department of Justice.
