Why Employee Wellbeing?

Are your staff really your most valuable resource?

If an organisation’s most valuable asset is their employees, then the success of that business is dependent upon employee health and wellbeing. Not only can your staff be your greatest asset, but they can also be your biggest liability, particularly if they are constantly absent from work! An organisation where employee health is at the heart of the business, is a business with a thriving, productive working environment.

Research consistently shows that healthy employees have more energy, are more positive and take less sick days. Recent findings suggest that an unhealthy employee is 20% less productive as well as being more likely to be absent! Investing in staff not only helps you reduce absence costs but staff value the recognition they receive . Such encouragement leads to reduced business costs from staff turnover and recruitment.

What happens if you fail to recognise employee health

The consequence for failing to recognise the value of employee health and wellness is becoming increasingly significant and will ultimately lead to poorer performance individually and collectively. High levels of absence even amongst a few can lead to greater stress for those left to cope. If you need help to identify issues in your workplace that are leading to increased difficulties for your staff, then Balance Workplace Wellbeing can help.
