Workplace Health and Wellbeing

Attracting and retaining great staff has never been more important.  The cost for an organisation to onboard a new member of staff is expensive in both time and money.  Add the rising sickness absence rates it's no wonder organisations keep wellbeing high up on their strategic priorities.

 

Are you doing wellbeing in the right way?  Is it making a difference?  Do you evaluated the measurable benefits? 

 

For wellbeing to work at its best it needs to be aligned through the organisations strategy, culture, processes, training and leadership skills so that it can truly enhance the employee experience and positively impact the organisations bottom line.   A tokenistic tick box approach to wellbeing isn't going to yield results.   

What is workplace wellbeing?

Workplace wellbeing isn't just the absence of disease, its about enabling your staff to thrive at work. So many factors come into this and addressing wellbeing in a holistic way to consider all the key components can be seen in the model below from the CIPD.

 

Good health and wellbeing is a core enabler for employee engagement, attraction, retention, culture and organisational performance.

Workplace Wellbeing

​

Avoid a tick box approach to wellbeing. Instead gain the competitive advantage you've been looking for by taking a strategic approach to Workplace Wellbeing. It's time to integrate workplace wellness into your strategy, employee proposition, and business performance.

​​

WHY?

  • The UK Work Wellbeing report by Indeed in 2023 revealed that only 23% of workers are thriving, and 61% of Gen Z workers expect their wellbeing needs to be met.

  • The NHS predicts that by 2040, over 9 million people will be living with major illnesses—a 30% increase.

  • Therefore, there is a significant impact on the available labour market who can work effectively, sustain attendance and thrive in the workplace.

 

HOW?

Organisations need to be agile in responding to rising ill health and evolving workforce expectations. Each organisation is unique.

Starting with a thorough assessment of the current situation, Changing Lane will craft a tailored workplace programme. This approach aligns with your culture, strategy, business priorities, leadership capabilities and staff teams.
