The impact of well-being on businesses
A lack of focus on well-being issues can lead to absenteeism, reduced productivity, and an increased risk of accidents. In addition, it can create morale problems within a team and difficulty with leadership.
As a result, businesses that ignore well-being may find themselves at a competitive disadvantage. There are a number of steps that businesses can take to support the well-being of their employees. For example, they can provide access to counselling and employee assistance programmes. In addition, they can create a culture of open communication and support.
By taking steps to manage well-being in the workplace, businesses can create a healthier culture and improve their bottom line.
