Health Promotion has been defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as:

“the process of enabling people to increase control over their health and its determinants, and thereby improve their health”.

Businesses now understand that, if having a good job is great for people’s health and wellbeing, it therefore makes sense that having a healthy workforce would be extremely advantageous to them also. Those who take it seriously ensure that they have health and wellbeing initiatives built into their health and wellbeing strategies instead of just providing ad hoc workshops or events by creating a positive, safe and healthy environment for employees, it can increase morale, improve employees’ work-life balance and, in turn, positively impact your business.

How can a healthy workforce improve Business Performance?

By promoting and encouraging a healthy workforce, businesses can experience many significant benefits as this can improve:

  • Productivity.
  • Business performance.
  • Staff Morale.
  • Employee Engagement.

In addition, there can be substantial cost savings by promoting health in the workplace and by minimising sickness absence can in-turn also reduce:

  • Accident and work-related ill health
  • Sick pay costs.
  • Insurance costs.
  • Added pressure on employees who need to cover for those who are absent
