Proactive Rather Than Reactive Health & Wellbeing

Invest in Prevention

Employee Health and welling strategies are being increasingly introduced by companies. Research found in Right Management’s The flux report: Building a resilient workforce in the face of flux, published in February 2014, found that 60% of HR directors recognise that employee health and wellness are key attributes to enabling businesses to achieve their strategic objectives.

However, a key problem in the area of Health & Wellness is that it is often misunderstood. Companies view health & wellness strategies as a firefighting measure; something that is introduced when things go wrong in the company and performance slides. This view narrow and to a certain extent wrong. The old saying “Prevention rather than cure” is extremely fitting within these situations. Health & Wellbeing should not be about reactive illness management – employers shouldn’t wait until their employees become stressed or ill then seek to cure, instead they should look at a prevention strategy.

Proactive Health & Wellbeing

Early intervention really does matter. Businesses that spend more time promoting wellbeing and resilience see an upturn in performance, engagement and productivity. If they also use specific data gathering and measurement throughout the year, they can demonstrate the effect of the wellbeing programmes that they’ve implemented.

Health and wellbeing programmes can see an 80% improvement in organisational performance. In addition, businesses that make a commitment to employee wellbeing can also expect a return in areas such as psychological contract, improved sense of wellbeing, resilience and enhanced positive regard for the employer. Everyone has potential to be healthy, efficient, productive and happy at work. People just need the right support. With an ageing population, it is important that organisations start to recognise this. Read our blog on the why to invest in employee health and the benefits.
