Healthy workers can be almost three times more productive than their unhealthy colleagues. People who are unwell either don’t perform at their best, or they don’t turn up for work at all.
Absenteeism is a major problem our industry faces, and it is high-time that the right approach is developed in order to do something about this and not just talk about it.
A correctly implemented health and well-being program will help reduce absenteeism and staff turnover, leading to increased skill retention, and a reduction in training and recruitment costs. Employee physical and mental well-being will be protected and improved, increasing staff morale and leading to increased productivity. The cost savings to the organization can be significant.
