Invest in staff health and wellbeing
Health and wellbeing initiatives are becoming an increasingly important way to build a resilient and engaged workplace. It’s a smart thing to do as employees prefer a workplace where they feel valued and supported. They are less likely to leave and more likely to join.
Health and wellness support can also relieve pressure on the bottom line if employers don’t have to pay staff on long-term sick leave.
