An integrated approach to employee health and wellbeing boosts engagement, productivity, and fosters a positive organisational culture.

According to new mental health research published by Deloitte in May 2024, while the cost of poor employee mental health has decreased from £56bn in 2021, it remains higher than the £45bn in 2019. With 63% of workers experiencing burnout and 46% of working parents concerned about their children's mental health, UK employers are losing £8bn annually. However, for every £1 spent on employee wellbeing, they gain an average of £4.70 in productivity.

Employers have come to recognise that a happy and healthy workforce leads to increased productivity, reduced absenteeism, and significant cost savings, but workplace discontent can harm employees' physical and mental health.
