Healthy, safe and engaged employees help to reduce costs, are more productive at work and build an organization’s reputation as a socially responsible employer.
Workplace Health Generates Positive Outcomes
Investing in workplace health offers both well-being and financial advantages to organizations and their employees. On average people living in Alberta spend 35 hours per week at work. This means that for almost half (44%) of an employee's waking hours, their work environment is influencing the choices they make around their health. Studies show that employees who work in a healthy and safe work environment tend to feel more engaged and satisfied with their jobs. Additionally, employers who invest in a healthy workplace see significant value and savings. For every $1 invested in promoting employee health, organizations can expect a $3 return through heightened productivity, reduced healthcare costs, lower absenteeism and turnover, and increased attractiveness to potential new hires.
Transform your workplace into a place where everyone thrives in a culture that prioritizes and nurtures health and well-being and start seeing the cost savings and benefits:
