• Better Programs, Better Outcomes: Employees who say their employer has optimized their health and wellbeing program have better outcomes across the board, including fewer employee challenges, health having less impact on job performance, and less time wasted searching for answers about their benefits programs.
• Wellbeing: The Unseen Priority: Only one in four employees believe their employer makes employee wellbeing a high priority, but the data indicates it should be. Half of employees report their health has impacted their ability to do the job, with mental and emotional health being the top issue.

Workplace Mental Health: What is the Issue?

“Workplaces can play an essential part in maintaining positive mental health. They can give people the opportunity to feel productive and be a strong contributor to employee wellbeing. Yet it can also be a stressful environment that contributes to the rise of mental health problems and illnesses. No workplace is immune from these risks and we cannot afford to limit our definition of occupational health and safety to only the physical.”

Employee productivity relies heavily on their health and wellbeing. True business success comes from recognizing that employees mirror the care and investment they receive from their employers. This directly influences your bottom line.
