Workplace wellbeing

It is estimated that 32 million working days are lost across the UK due to preventable ill health; with stress, depression, anxiety and muskoskeletal disorders being the main contributors Health and Safety Executive. At a cost of £13.1 billion to those organisations affected.

We face many challenges in our daily lives. Work related stress is one such challenge. Therefore, it’s becoming increasingly important for organisations to look after the wellbeing of their staff.

Across all industries and sectors, work related pressure can impact the wellbeing of individuals and teams, which, if left untreated, can lead to staff retention challenges, low morale and productivity, poor health and wellbeing and sickness absence. These challenges can lead to wider organisational issues.
