The Business Case
A clear business case exits for introducing wellbeing initiatives as has been demonstrated successfully by Astra Zeneca, Proctor and Gamble, Royal Mail, BT, Port of London Authority and Chrysalis media group.

The Sunday Times “100 Best Companies To Work For” have absenteeism rates which are less than half the national average, representing a typical saving of £900,000 per company each year. Wellbeing is a key indicator of success in the “Best Companies” award. Research shows that people prefer to work for companies which promote health and wellbeing.

Studies show that health promotion measures led to between 12% and 36% reduction in sickness absence. This led to a saving of 34% in absenteeism costs, concluding that every £1000 spent on promoting health in the workplace could lead to a £2500 saving for business.

A study by the Institute for Health and Productivity and Vielife proved an 8.5% increase in work performance as a result of health promotion programmes with a return on investment of £3.73 for every £1 spent.
