Boost profits with wellbeing

Here's some evidence to support what we've suspected for a long time: There is a direct link between employers’ profitability and investing in issues such as the health and wellbeing of staff and ethical corporate behaviour.

These are the findings of research published by Business in the Community (BITC), a membership organisation with the remit of promoting corporate social responsibility (CSR).

A study undertaken for BITC by Ipsos Mori among 100 FTSE 100 companies found that those firms that actively worked to improve staff wellbeing and enforce workplace health policies saw a 10% boost to their financial performance. This was because they reaped the benefits of higher employee engagement, reduced absentee and attrition rates as well as enhanced corporate reputation.

So if your business is looking to boost its financial results, we can help you design an effective wellbeing programme.
