As reported by the World Economic Forum, healthy people tend to have healthy work habits; they show more initiative, take more responsibility and engage in more successful collaborations. They’re also more likely to positively influence colleagues, helping seed the growth of a healthy workplace culture by inspiring others to improve their own wellbeing.
So it’s no surprise that organizations can benefit immensely when they support and promote holistic health at work.
But holistic health acknowledges that there are numerous dimensions to wellbeing — including mental, physical and financial health. For example, employees who feel financially secure demonstrate greater levels of engagement, with 77 per cent enjoying their work. On average, companies also report 12 per cent higher productivity from happy employees.
Furthermore, employees who feel satisfied with their holistic health have lower rates of absenteeism and have proven to be better problem-solvers, as well as more resilient in the face of change. Together, mental, physical and financial health comprise key elements to support employee wellbeing and empower them to be their best in both their personal and professional lives.
