Why create a healthier workplace?

Like many developed nations, Australia is currently witnessing a significant increase in the burden of chronic disease.

Workplaces everywhere are feeling the impact (and daily cost) of the current health of our workforce – reduced productivity, high stress levels, poor job satisfaction, increased sickness, growing absenteeism, high staff turnover and mistakes caused by physical and mental fatigue.

This situation clearly needs to be turned around. With most Australians spending about one third of their lives at work, it simply makes good business sense to invest in making the work environment a key setting for promoting positive health and wellbeing.

Benefits of a healthier workplace

The business advantages of having fitter, healthier and happier employees on the payroll are many and varied, including:

• Increased productivity

• Better staff decision making

• Reduced sick leave and absenteeism

• Reduced long-term health problems

• Reduced worker turnover

• Increased ability to attract and retain new employees

The benefits of promoting health & wellbeing

• Increased return on training and development investment;

• Improved corporate citizenship and image;

• Improved industrial relations;

• Reduced risk of accidents and health-related litigation; and

• Fewer worker compensation claims.

The direct benefits to your employees

Increased morale, job satisfaction and motivation;
Improved mental alertness, concentration and energy levels;
Decreased stress and other work-related illness;
Improved prevention of chronic diseases.

These benefits are very real and evidence based.
