Next stop: a higher productivity level in the workplace!

New research from XpertHR has suggested that employers are finally wising up to the importance of workplace wellbeing…which will be music to the ears of employees up and down the country. In a new article published only last week, more than half of employers (54.4%) are said to run informal employee wellbeing initiatives and the positive facts and figures don’t end there.

Among those employers who do not have an employee wellbeing programme in place, 67.7% of them say they plan to implement one in the next 12 months.

It’s pleasing to finally see such a commitment to the cause, especially when the benefits of a wellbeing programme may not be clear for at least a year prior to the programme being implemented. Cost is of course an issue to this, but a potential higher productivity level amongst the workforce is surely worth it? According to the figures, it does indeed seem to be the case.

What is an EPA?

The article from Workplace Insight suggests that there are two standout areas that impact employee wellbeing: offering employee assistance programmes and providing sick pay above the statutory amount. The former, known as EAP’s, are intended to help employees deal with problems that may adversely affect their work performance, health and wellbeing.

Xpert HR practice editor Noelle Murphy says: “it is when an employee is at their most vulnerable that they need this kind of support, so removing as many blockers as possible and reassuring employees of their confidentiality is vital.”
