Organisations are increasingly starting to see the benefits of promoting a healthy workforce with the introduction of strategic wellbeing programmes becoming more prevalent. Stress and poor mental health in the workplace can impact negatively on performance and productivity resulting in financial losses through high levels of sickness absence, disruption to schedules and a knock-on effect for other employees, reduced productivity and high staff turnover.
