Absence is a thorn in the side of almost every employer, with days off leading to financial and other more intangible losses. We are also witnessing a rise in ‘presenteeism’ – employees coming to work when they probably shouldn’t – which again leads to issues with productivity. Therefore, it is more vital than ever for employers not only to recognise the importance of health and wellbeing in the workplace, but to actively promote it. Healthy employees tend to be happy employees, who engage and contribute more and are less likely to leave the organisation. Protecting their physical and mental wellbeing will have a direct impact on the health of your organisation as a whole.
