It all begins with intention. Intention to do better, to be better.
As businesses, our collective aspiration is to witness a positive impact on the bottom line, whilst at the same time building a thriving workplace culture. The means of achieving this twofold ambition is through the way in which we nurture our people and take care of their well-being.
The data speaks for itself
Studies indicate that for every $1 invested in a workplace wellness program in Australia, an anticipated return on investment (ROI) of $5.81 is expected.
Furthermore, the data presents that an active program correlates with colleagues being nearly six times more likely to feel engaged and 29% likely to be more productive. In addition, colleagues are 125% less likely to burn out, 32% less likely to quit and 46% less likely to experience unhealthy days.
With all these outcomes in mind, it is clear that workplace well-being is no longer something that can be ignored or treated as a ‘nice to have’.
