CONSULTANCY
What’s keeping HR professionals and savvy business leaders up at night?
Probably a few things but attracting and retaining talent is likely to be near the top of the list.
We know great employees are more likely to stay if they feel like their wellbeing is genuinely considered. (We’re not talking tick-box exercises here).
We also know they vote with their feet when they don’t. In fact, 61%* of UK employees who left a job in the last year or plan to leave in the next 12 months cited poor mental health as a factor.
So, what are we doing about it?
Studies continue to show that finding ways to prioritise wellbeing and mental health and retain good people are persistent problems.**
Yet, making employee wellbeing a higher priority needn’t be as hard as you think.
Communication is your game changer.
Employees who feel informed and supported experience better balance between work and home life, improved morale, self-esteem and confidence and a sense of being looked after and valued.
Improved communication around wellbeing makes good business sense too, and not only for your retention rates. You’ll likely benefit from better performance, reduced staff sickness, improved working relationships and an enhanced reputation as a top employer too.
