Why Invest in Employee Health & Wellbeing?

Employee health and wellbeing - both physical and mental - is linked to better productivity(8). As an employer you have an important role to play in improving the wellbeing of your employees and Full Circle Health & Wellness can help.

 

Did you know that 1 in 6 workers will experience depression, anxiety or problems relating to stress at any one time (1)(6) and this is responsible for 44% of all cases of work-related ill health and 54% of all working days lost due to health issues(2). In fact mental ill health is responsible for 72 million working days lost and costing the economy upwards of a staggering £91 billion each year *(4)(5)(10).

1 in 5 people take a day off due to stress. Yet, 90% of these people cited a different reason for their absence.

A major driver of poor health is that people simply aren’t getting enough sleep or vegetables (10) and these lifestyle factors contribute to mental ill health as well as chronic health conditions.  

It is important to note that not only those who are directly suffering from mental and physical ill health experience productivity losses, but also those who care for them (8).  Women in particular are nearly twice as likely to have a common mental health problem as men (7)(10).

Every year it costs businesses £1,300 per employee whose mental health needs are unsupported (4)

"work-related stress, depression or anxiety accounted for 50% of all work-related ill health AND this is increasing"

Presenteeism.

 

Mental ill health is a growing problem in the UK workplace, increasing both absenteeism and ‘Presenteeism’ - a phenomenon where your employees are at work but not actually being productive (8).

 

A whopping 45% of UK workers are suffering from presenteeism, and it’s reported that this leads to businesses losses of over a month each year per employee (10). Mental ill health is a main driver of presenteeism with people reluctant to disclose mental health problems to employers through fear of stigma and discrimination (8)(10) .

Productivity has been dropping steadily since 2014, with businesses losing over a month each year per employee.
