# The people equation: How human wellbeing can multiply business results

![Side by side images of the same woman smiling and looking sad](https://resources.telushealth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/PeopleEqution-eBook-CoverImage-NA-3.jpg?width=1496&height=548&name=PeopleEqution-eBook-CoverImage-NA-3.jpg)

As organizations in Canada navigate digital transformation and economic uncertainty, protecting their most valuable asset—their people—is critical.

[Consider this](https://resources.telushealth.com/en-ca/deep-dive-into-stress-and-wellbeing-to-inform-your-mental-health-strategy?hsLang=en-ca): 

- 78 per cent of employees in Canada report moderate to high mental-health risks
- 66 per cent feel anxious or isolated
- 30 per cent say they don’t have emergency savings to meet their basic needs. 

These challenges can have direct financial implications on organizations. The scope of these problems is evident in disability claims, with [40 per cent](https://www.hrreporter.com/focus-areas/compensation-and-benefits/mental-disorders-make-up-2-in-5-ltd-claims-in-canada-report/392401#:~:text=Mental%20disorder%20was%20the%20most,term%20disability%20(LTD)%20claims.) of long-term disability claims now mental health-related, up from 25 per cent in 2019. 

Forward-thinking organizations recognize that employee wellbeing exists on a continuum – from feeling well to struggling to feeling unwell – with people requiring different support at different moments along their journey, with a focus on preventative vs. reactive care.

Employers that invest in [comprehensive employee support](https://www.mckinsey.com/mhi/our-insights/thriving-workplaces-how-employers-can-improve-productivity-and-change-lives) see measurable gains in productivity, lower absenteeism, reduced healthcare costs, and stronger engagement and retention. 

This eBook examines why traditional approaches to employee health and wellbeing are evolving, and how connecting people with care proactively and responsively can help to drive a healthier workforce, while boosting productivity, engagement, retention and other key business metrics
