Ensuring Staff Wellbeing & How to Have a Thriving Workforce
Do you ever question how much staff absence and recruitment is costing your organisation? Or why some companies are able to retain their best staff and maintain low staff absenteeism? And how come they also always seem to be ahead of the game with creativity and innovation? Answer - By identifying that your staff are your most precious resource and investing in them, you are also investing in the growth of a sustainable successful business.
“Companies like Google have invested more in employee support and employee satisfaction has risen as a result. ‘For Google, it rose by 37%..... they found that this was indeed the case, with higher employee happiness levels associated with a 12% rise in productivity.” (Rafalowski, Upstack, 2023.)
Businesses with the best ongoing and well structured staff wellbeing programmes create the most effective corporate cultures and workplace environments. They support their staff's wellbeing and mental health from the get-go, offering wellbeing programmes as a job incentive.
It’s not rocket science
Self-awareness, diversity, use of interpersonal skills, mutual respect, flexibility, self-care and effective communication may all seem like a no-brainer. However, they are critical in building a thriving work culture; when these characteristics are modeled, developed and nurtured in your staff, your business has a better chance of success. But how many leaders can confidently say this is already embedded as part of their work culture?

Why are so many businesses in the UK falling short of this?
Working conditions and environment can have a huge impact on mental health, and, equally, someone's mental health can significantly affect performing well in their job.
1 in 6.8 people experience mental health problems in the workplace (14.7%).
Evidence suggests that 12.7% of all sickness absence days in the UK can be attributed to mental health conditions. (Mental Health Foundation, 2023)
An estimated 17 million working days were lost due to work-related stress, depression, or anxiety in 2021/22. (Gov Health and Safety Executive Report, 2023).
Poor mental health costs UK employers up to £56 billion a year. (Deloitte UK, 2023.) Do you know how much it is costing your business?
The fire fighting Vs preventative model
Of course it is important to be able to identify and spot early signs of mental health issues in your workplace; we are great advocates for this. However, is waiting for mental health issues to happen impacting your staff and businesses the best approach? If you agree that your most valuable commodity is your staff, then it makes sense to have preventative measures in place that can save your business money and resources plus retain your best staff. It is essential that your wellbeing programme meets statutory requirements and beneficial that it has preventative measures in place.
There is no one-size-fits-all wellbeing programme
Your business is unique and therefore requires a bespoke and well structured wellbeing programme. One which is time and cost efficient and not tokenistic. A successful wellbeing programme has longevity becoming an embedded part of your business environment and culture. A quality wellbeing programme can be scalable and measured.
