“If you take care of your employees, they will take care of your clients” – Richard Branson
Wise words Mr Branson, wise words!
It’s a well know fact these days, that a happy and healthy employee will contribute to a successful and thriving business, yet sometimes staff wellbeing can tend to be overlooked. We get it, sometimes it is just so busy at work that *blink* and its Christmas 2018 and you hear the distant mutters of “where has the year gone”. Perhaps, along the way you’ve lost some employees or stress levels have reached another level that NASA wonders how you’ve reached those dizzily heights of “stress heads” in one place. Don’t believe me… just take a look for yourself:
Fact 1: Stress costs the UK economy almost £4 billion a year… (holy moly that’s a lot of money!)
Fact 2: Companies with the strongest health & wellbeing cultures had a 45% lower cost of productivity compared with those that had worst cultures… (more productive employees = successful business)
Fact 3: Companies that invest in employee wellbeing have found 25% less staff turnover, 40% less absence & 50% less accidents & injuries… (HOORAY)
If those figures are hitting home for you and you are now silently contemplating to yourself, “well what on earth can we do to make for a happier workplace”, we have just the answer. So between you and me, we are kick starting our very own corporate wellness programme and it’s a lot more than a hippy in a room, “omming” at you… trust me! It has interesting, engaging content that really help you to deal with stress and practical instruction on mindfulness and/or yoga techniques.
