The people equation: How human wellbeing can multiply business results

Across Australia, wellbeing is under strain, with organisations navigating a convergence of pressures. The big question confronting leaders now is how to help create stability for their people when so much around them feels uncertain.

Consider this:

• 76 per cent of the workforce is living with a moderate to high mental health risk. 
• A quarter of all workers feel overwhelmed by their responsibilities
• 34 per cent say their mental health is adversely impacting work productivity.

These challenges can have direct financial implications for organisations. In Australia, the impact of poor mental health exceeds $13 billion annually in lost productivity, absenteeism, presenteeism and staff turnover. 

The good news is that employers increasingly recognise that employee wellbeing isn’t just about supporting individual health – it’s a strategic asset that can drive organisational performance. Forward-thinking organisations are adopting a  prevention-focused approach that helps energise employees daily, foster healthy habits and deliver measurable value for everyone involved.

This ebook explores how employers are transforming their approach to workforce support through a model that anticipates and prevents risks, empowers employees and responds effectively to help protect wellbeing when significant issues arise. At each stage, it will highlight the services that can make a real, tangible difference to both employers and employees, along with the measurable impact that results.
