Is your business in good shape?

Without insights on your employees' physical and mental health, it's difficult to measure whether your support initiatives are really making a difference. Now’s the time to kickstart your journey towards a healthier workforce by unlocking the power of employee wellbeing.

What has to come next for workplace wellbeing?

Healthy people make healthy businesses. That’s always been true. But in recent years, global events and accelerated changes to ways of working have piled on the pressure like never before. Employee absence – just one indicator of a new wellbeing crisis – is projected to peak at a record 10 lost working days per employee in 2023.
UK businesses, barely recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic, now face a second economic crisis in as many years. Rising living costs, strained working environments, and the associated mental health impacts for people across the UK threaten this fragile new stability. With your organisation’s future at stake, it’s never been more important that your workforce enjoys full, meaningful support, allowing you to attract and retain the best talent.
