Benefits to Business

Оглавление

Despite all the evidence showing the costs to employers and the economy of poor mental health in the workplace, barriers to investment in workplace mental health remain, including a lack of evidence that such investments can have a positive impact on the bottom line.

However, employers who do embark on well-being programmes believe there will be benefits to investing in this way. According to a global survey by XEROX in 2016,15 increasing employee productivity (59%) is now the top objective of a well-being programme, followed closely by improving employee engagement and morale (56%).

Thriving employees not only cost their employers less, they are more productive and more engaged in their work.

According to US research by The Healthways Center of Health Research,16 as well-being increases, direct and indirect costs decrease, and employee performance improves. A 10% increase in well-being was associated with 24% lower presenteeism and 6% more ‘best work’ days per month.

Studies around the world have started to yield real-world evidence that workplace programmes focusing on enhancing the mental and emotional well-being of employees are an investment that yields valuable returns, rather than a cost (Table 2.3).
