In today’s fast-paced work environment, businesses can no longer afford to overlook employee well-being. Stress, burnout, and mental health struggles are on the rise, impacting productivity and business performance. UK employers lose billions each year due to absenteeism and presenteeism—employees showing up to work unwell and under performing.

At Wellness in the Workplace, we believe that prioritising employee health isn’t just a ‘nice to have’—it’s a strategic investment with measurable returns.

The Cost of Poor Employee Well-Being

Neglecting workplace wellness carries a high financial cost:

  • Poor mental health costs UK businesses £51 billion annually (Deloitte, 2024).
  • Presenteeism—where employees work while unwell—accounts for £25 billion per year, averaging £757 per employee.
  • Workers take more sick days than ever, with absenteeism nearly doubling since 2018.

These figures highlight a crucial truth: when employees struggle, so does the business.

The Business Case for Workplace Wellness

The good news? Investing in workplace wellness delivers a high return on investment (ROI). Research shows that:

  • For every £1 spent on workplace health initiatives, UK businesses see an average return of £4.17.
  • Improved employee well-being could contribute between £130 billion and £370 billion per year to the UK economy.
  • Companies with strong wellness programs experience higher employee engagement, retention, and productivity.

This isn’t just about reducing costs—it’s about creating a thriving workplace where employees and businesses succeed together.
