Wellbeing benefits improve productivity

There has been active discussion amongst employers about the value of introducing workplace based wellness programs.

Research carried out by MetLife found that 81% of workers said they improve their productivity through participation in wellbeing programs creating definitive benefits for companies. They also found that 70% of respondents said they participate in wellness schemes because they want to attain a higher level of health, with 85% wanting to lose weight, 84% wanting a chance to exercise more and a further 84% hoping to improve their diet.

In support of this, the Trades Union Congress recently claimed that firms can improve their employee retention and productivity by improving their wellbeing through setting sensible workloads and achieving a good work/life balance.
