Workplace Wellbeing Programs

Why you need a Workplace Wellbeing Program

Whether it’s full or part-time, working from home or the office, sitting in front of a screen, standing speaking with customers or a range of other situations there’s no question work can take a physical and mental toll on us all.

While personal responsibility is essential for health and wellbeing, it is also the responsibility of an organisation to provide a healthy and safe environment for their team.

This includes employees being able to openly ask for help and to feel empowered with appropriate and practicable strategies and tools, on how to achieve optimal health and wellbeing.

Achieving optimal health doesn’t just benefit your employees though. Across all business sizes, not investing in your employee’s health and wellness has significant costs.

Consider these statistics from Howden

  • Time lost as a result of psychological injury is typically more than twice the size of any other serious injury claims. The average cost of a mental illness claim is $36,000, compared to $13,000 for all serious injury claims.
  • Top of the emerging benefits for employers is mental health training to support career development, with 89% currently using or thinking of implementing this in the future. This could include resilience training, suggesting that employers want to help employees avoid burnout, rather than simply supporting them once they are already struggling.
  • Half of Australian employees don’t feel comfortable initiating discussions around sometimes challenging topics like mental health, workload, or managing work-life balance with their managers.
  • In 2021, 1 in 5 Australians reported having a mental health condition and the proportion of people reporting depression or symptoms of depression nearly tripled to 28% in early 2022, compared to 10% the previous year.

A healthy and well workforce not only decreases costs with less absenteeism, presenteeism and stress leave, it increases revenue due to an increase in productivity, engagement, creativity and focus.

Common signs your workplace needs help

Whilst a common term is burnout, the reality is that there are numerous indicators to suggest your workplace needs a Workplace Wellbeing program:

  • Lack of productivity
  • High absenteeism
  • Lack of engagement
  • Lack of creativity and focus
  • Low energy levels
  • Increased stress leave
  • Disconnection between team members
  • Unsatisfied Clients and Customers
  • An increase in health challenges
  • Reduced attention to detail
  • Lots more!
A Workplace Wellness Program will improve resilience and health
Implementing a Workplace Wellness Program can deliver benefits your employee's and your business.

It is no longer acceptable to just tick the box for workplace wellbeing by leaving a few brochures about mental health in the lunch room or supplying a weekly fruit basket and fitness session.

Creating long-term, sustainable change in team performance, absenteeism, presenteeism, focus, creativity, engagement, loyalty and more by a healthy workforce is crucial to the growth and success of any business and organisation.

Workplace Wellbeing Programs

Health and well-being procedures and programs are the first step, however, it’s in the implementation and execution of the program that results and success can be found.

Driving sustainable change in your business involves the rollout of a workplace wellbeing program and is essential if you are to have any real impact on the bottom line and the health and wellbeing of your team members.

Refined over twenty years, we have two set Workplace Wellbeing Programs that have been designed to deliver immediate benefits to your employees and your bottom line.

Of course, should you require something specific for your business we can also customise a program specifically to your workplace.
