Employee Wellbeing

We unlock the business value of employee wellbeing, boosting the effectiveness of total rewards, increasing employee engagement, and improving work-life balance, performance and productivity.

Building a resilient workforce starts with wellbeing that works across every dimension of people's lives.

Employees' physical, emotional, social and financial health directly affects their productivity and engagement making employee wellbeing a business imperative. We help organizations build a resilient workforce connecting wellbeing to work and rewards, health and safety, inclusion and diversity, climate, and other environmental, social and governance (ESG) imperatives. We help you to ensure your employees are physically thriving, emotionally balanced, financially secure and socially connected and support you to establish the best strategy and solutions to suit both employee and employer needs.

What is employee wellbeing?

Employee wellbeing is more than programs or one-time initiatives. In the workplace, wellbeing is a shared mindset with aligned behaviors, enabled through leaders and managers. Employee wellbeing becomes part of the culture when it is:

  • Embedded in the employee experience
  • Reflects organizational values

A successful approach to employee wellbeing makes connections to your:

  • Total rewards
  • Careers
  • Employee benefits
  • Work and safety practices

A comprehensive and connected approach is critical for employee wellbeing and work-life balance to be effective in practice

What are the 4 key dimensions of wellbeing?

A holistic approach to wellbeing incorporates four dimensions.

01

Physical wellbeing

To thrive physically, employees should understand and manage their health, take preventive measures to improve it and effectively manage chronic conditions. They should also navigate and recover from acute illness or injury, returning to optimal function at home and at work.

02

Emotional wellbeing

To be emotionally balanced, employees must be self-aware and develop positive mental health skills - including resilience, stress management and coping with emotional triggers. Emotional wellbeing also encompasses the capacity to handle life crises and address mental health and substance use issues.

03

Financial wellbeing

Being financially secure requires managing budgetary commitments, meeting financial goals, protecting against risks and saving for future needs such as college, home ownership or retirement. Financial resilience skills are key, enabling employees to cope with financial shocks.

04

Social wellbeing

Social wellbeing is about being connected to your work, family, community and purpose. Key elements include supporting and collaborating with others, fostering diversity and inclusion and cultivating a sense of belonging and personal value.

Each dimension, although unique, is inextricably linked with the others. A holistic approach to fostering employee wellbeing extends beyond employees to include families, organizations and communities. As a result, the ideal approach to wellbeing keeps the employee at the center and is truly integrated with all aspects of organizational culture.

What is the business value of employee wellbeing?

The pandemic, along with other disruptors – geopolitical tension, social unrest, climate change and economic uncertainty – have accelerated the need for employers to actively support employee wellbeing.

Our research reveals that organizations with higher levels of wellbeing achieve:

  • Better business outcomes
  • Higher levels of employee engagement
  • Improved revenue
