A business case for long-term investment in employee wellbeing

Significant parts of the modern workforce are unhealthy and unhappy. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) reports that one in five workers suffer from mental ill-health – such as stress-related depression and anxiety – and that many are struggling to cope.

Worldwide, only 13% of employees are engaged in their job. And the combined cost of these colossal Business challenges – stress-related ill-health and engagement – is totalled at USD $607bn in lost productivity. 1,2

Despite this, HR often struggles to make the business case for health, Wellbeing and culture. Perhaps because return on investment can be difficult to prove. Cultures are not easily transformed. And so these statistics – not to mention the cost to business – continue to rise.

Our report – which shows long-term investment in wellbeing is key to healthy, productive cultures – bridges the gap for HR leaders who want to take action and build their business case. Our data shows the link between repeat participation in wellbeing programs and improvements in productivity and cultural issues, like stress.

Expert advice from members of the Virgin Pulse Science Advisory Board also guides you through the behavioural science that can change habits and transform cultures – in a way that’s both sustainable and quantitative.
