Strategies for Productive Workforces
Creating a culture of care that benefits organisations and their people
At a time when UK productivity is declining, a healthier workforce can provide economic benefits by reducing sick leave and enhancing overall morale. Such corporate commitment to wellbeing doesn’t go unnoticed; companies that prioritise employee health often attract and keep the best talent at a time when staff retention remains a challenge for organisations.
Since the pandemic, employee expectations have changed too. Research shows that more than 80% of workers believe companies now have a greater responsibility to support wellbeing at work. Growing awareness around mental health means businesses need to address stress, burnout and other psychological concerns as diligently as they would physical health risks. At the same time, the shift to remote work introduces the challenge of fostering a sense of belonging and cohesion among dispersed teams.
In association with Vitality, and drawing on insights from Britain’s Healthiest Workplace survey, this 50-minute webinar is for leaders from across the UK’s public and private sectors to explore proactive strategies to identify and mitigate the root causes of work-related health issues.
