What is employee wellbeing?
Employee wellbeing has emerged as a critical component of a healthy workplace. It refers to the overall health and happiness of employees. It includes financial, physical, mental, and emotional health.
Why does employee wellbeing matter?
Studies show that workplace stress accounts for 40% of job turnover. Stressed employees are also more vulnerable to increased absenteeism, decreased morale, and reduced productivity levels. In contrast, a Gallop study revealed that companies with strong wellbeing initiatives show an 81% decrease in absenteeism, 23% greater profitability alongwith 18% higher productivity.
These figures show the importance of meeting employee wellbeing requirements. In fact, as per a 2023 Office Occupier Sentiment Survey, wellness is one of the most important building amenities for occupying offices.
