Improve employee wellbeing

It is no surprise that happy workers are more productive. But the problem is, most of us aren’t happy at work. One in five of us feel disengaged by their jobs (Forbes – Job satisfaction and productivity), and half of us report ‘running on empty’ due to ongoing work-related stress and burnout (MHFA – Workplace mental health statistics). Focusing on improving employee wellbeing might be more beneficial to your business and productivity than you realise.

Absence due to stress is now costing the UK economy £28bn a year (MHFA – Workplace mental health statistics), so ensuring that your employees are happy and healthy can have a significant boost to the productivity of your business and your ability to attract and retain talent.

Job satisfaction is a core element of successful business: Happy employees are more actively engaged at work. Improving employee wellbeing can have multiple benefits including:

  • Improving productivity levels in the workforce.
  • Attracting and retaining the best talent.
  • Preventing economic loss linked to stress-related absence and sick leave.
  • Improving customer satisfaction with better services from happier employees.
  • Gaining the reputation of ‘best place to work’.
