Why should Companies care about Workplace Well-being?

Spending a third of our adult lives at work means that our experience of life is fundamentally shaped by our experiences in our jobs. Yet research shows that 41% of employees worldwide experience work-related stress daily. Repeated long-term stress can cause burnout – and we know that burnout contributes to higher turnover, reduced engagement, lower customer satisfaction and increased safety incidences. Mental Health absences cost UK employers 51 billion pounds a year.

 On the positive side…

 Recent research in 2025 (the largest study into workplace wellbeing ever) shows that improving your employee’s wellbeing increases productivity, retention, and attracts more future employees which in turn increases performance.  On an individual and company level this is in itself encouraging news. But there is also a wider business case for investing in your employee’s wellbeing… 

 There is now robust evidence to suggest that firms who have a higher level of workplace wellbeing are more profitable and do better financially, outperforming on the stock-market compared to firms whose workforce have lower wellbeing scores.
