WHY IT’S DESPERATELY NEEDED
First and foremost, it’s about your people. Treating humans as human beings, and being rewarded with happier, more productive, and mentally fit employees.
As can be seen below, the global and national statistics are sobering. Sadly, workplaces are letting their people down and it’s time to change this. The statistic we can change is supporting the wellbeing of all the people employed worldwide by providing mentally fitter workplaces.
It’s undeniable that business performance, productivity and profit are the ultimate KPIs when you’re a CEO or business owner.
It’s also undeniable that the costs of not investing in the wellbeing of your people can impact your organisation in a much more serious way.
Consider the cost of suddenly replacing a member of your senior leadership due to burnout.
Think about the drop in productivity and presenteeism of a high performing employee who’s been a victim of bullying.
Imagine if one of your employees with a mental illness felt discriminated against and went to the media.
