Benefits of a healthy workplace
- Improved productivity and performance
- Reduced absenteeism and other costs associated with ill health
- Fewer injuries, accidents, and insurance and compensation claims
- Improved employee morale and staff retention
- Employees more receptive to and better able to cope with change
- Enhanced business reputation and corporate responsibility
- Enhanced retention- existing employees are likely to value the fact that the organisation cares about their well being and become more loyal in return
- Better recruitment prospects — potential employees are likely to choose an organisation that shows it cares about wellbeing
- Possible reduction in stress related issues due to a ‘caring’ ethos of the company
- Reduction in overtime costs/agency cover as sickness absence rates fall
- Healthier employees (physically and psychologically) lead to enhanced performance and enhanced productivity
- Increased competitive advantage
- Employees who feel valued by the organisation are likely to be positively motivated and therefore more productive
The workplace has a powerful effect on the health of employees. How healthy a person feels affects their productivity, and how satisfied people are with their job affects their health.
The longer someone is signed off sick, the less likely they are to return to work, so early intervention and active management are key to success.
