Improving the Health and Wellbeing of your employees

Organizations around the world are making employee health and wellbeing one of their top priorities for 2021. The reality is that the workplace has one of, if not the, biggest impact on employees’ mental and physical wellbeing.

It’s not just a health imperative  — it’s also good for business. Every $1 invested in workplace mental health returns $5 in reduced costs and improved productivity — which equates to a 500 percent ROI, according to Deloitte. Employee wellbeing has been clearly tied to things like profitability, absenteeism, and productivity.

Understand and improve your employee’s health and wellbeing

One of the most important aspects of understanding employees’ wellbeing is the willingness and appetite to truly know what’s really going on, and what you as a leader can do to help. To support your organization, we’re excited to announce we’ve released our Health & Wellbeing Question Set to all our Business and Premier plan customers!

Peakon’s Health and Wellbeing question set allows you to:

• Minimize the impact of current market conditions on business performance by addressing the root causes of burnout, disengagement and regrettable churn
• Eliminate unnecessary admin and time-consuming work while supporting the ongoing Health and Wellbeing of your people
• Empower your people leaders with contextual guidance, collaborative tools, and microlearning sessions to address the health and wellbeing priorities of their teams
