The Healthy Workplace works to improve the lives of everyone at work creating thriving people and prosperous businesses. People are at the centre of business success. When employees are happy, healthy and engaged they can bring their best selves to work and their best work to your organisation. Sadly, too many people work in jobs they dislike and for people that make them unhappy. Gallop research shows 7 out of 10 workers are disengaged, turning up to work but not giving much more than the bare minimum to keep their jobs, killing time, sleepwalking through the day or actively undermining co-workers.Workplace stress and its negative effects on health and wellbeing are also at an all-time recorded high. The direct cost is estimated at 15% of payroll, but when you add in presenteeism (being physically on the job but not performing due to poor wellbeing) and productivity loss, the cost rises to approximately 25 - 35% of wages. High stress and low employee wellbeing (an employee's ability to feel good and function effectively at work) are particularly key in small to medium enterprises where every minute an employee underperforms or is unable to work represents a huge cost to the employer. Impacts can include increased stress, disrupting others' work and adding to their workload, hurting morale, adding overtime and training costs, reducing quality and penalising team performance. For a company to perform well, it needs healthy people and the fewer healthy people you have, the worse your business outcomes. Whilst there are no ‘quick fixes' for helping people thrive at work, there are simple strategies and initiatives that can help all employees feel more engaged, energised, creative, persistent, resilient and less likely to burn out. Successful wellbeing strategies have been shown to achieve a 15%+ increase in productivity levels. The Healthy Workplace creates unique workshops, learning experiences, coaching and matwww.the-healthy-workplace.com
