Leaders, today is Ibec National Workplace Wellbeing Day in Ireland! Take this opportunity to check in on your workforce and assess the levels of workplace wellbeing in your organisation. One of the greatest takeaways from my recently completed Postgraduate Certificate in Workplace Wellness from Trinity College Dublin is the World Health Organization definition of health. WHO states "health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." Do your teams work in a way that promotes their physical, mental, and social wellbeing? Investing in the health of your employees makes business sense. Healthy workplaces have a multitude of benefits including *Increased productivity *Innovation and collaboration *Higher retention *Happier customers *Strong employer brand *Talent attraction *Reduced healthcare costs If you want to foster a culture of health but are not sure where to start, get in touch today and we can set up a free consultation call. Together we can unlock new possibilities to propel your business forward with a thriving workforce. #IbecNationalWellbeingDay #wellbeingconsultant #leadershipcoach #employeewellbeing #WorkplaceWellbeing #HealthyWorkCulture #workplacewellnessconsultant

📊 Data from the BPTW Annual Survey reveals that Kiwi organisations understand the critical link between employee wellbeing and strong business outcomes. When employees are happy, healthy, and fulfilled, they’re more productive and driven to succeed. The BPTW Wellbeing Pillar is defined by creating an environment that supports the physical, mental, emotional, and social wellbeing of employees, ensuring a healthier and more vibrant workplace. Centred around aspects like: 🌿 Project opportunities for personal and professional growth 📈 Career development pathways  ⛱️ Appropriate flexibility for work-life balance 🍼 Access to supportive programs like parental leave or counselling services 🏃 Wellness challenges & fitness programs The winner of the 2024 BPTW Wellness Spotlight Award, @LawVu, impressed the judges with their deep commitment to ensuring a healthy work-life balance for their team through their THRIVE program, which offers an array of benefits and systems to support all their people in diverse ways, such as a monthly wellness allowance, access to resources through a Wellbeing Hub, remote workplace support, flexible work arrangements, access to counselling and psychological services, milestone bonuses, and much more! With this commitment to wellbeing, LawVu has seen improved retention rates, reduced absenteeism, and enhanced productivity, demonstrating that this focus on wellbeing contributes to a stable and committed workforce.

Employee wellbeing is now one of the biggest determinants of productivity, performance, and profitability. If it isn’t already, it should be a key priority for all organisations – large and small. But we know it evolves quickly, it’s personal and it means different things to different people, so it can be challenging to create global wellbeing strategies that work for everyone. In our latest ‘Perspectives by Bupa Global’ event that returned earlier this week, Carl Blake, Partnerships Development Director, hosted our expert panel as we explored our latest topic:    ‘Healthy returns: What the future of wellbeing means for your business’.   We were delighted to be joined by Julie Stephens, Director of Wellbeing and Health and Safety - Bupa, Steve Iley, Chief Medical Officer – Jaguar Land Rover, Ebenezer Adeniyi, Reward Business Partner - Hg Capital, and Gethin Nadin, Chief Innovation Officer – Benefex. We used the session to explore what’s next for wellbeing, the differences in generational expectations, as well as providing practical advice and support for designing global wellbeing strategies that work for employees and your business.    It was clear from the discussion that workplace wellbeing is evolving rapidly, and employees are seeking organisations that not only offer comprehensive reward programmes, but comprehensive wellbeing programmes.    It was great to see so many of our partners across the globe joining the session – we’re excited for the future of wellbeing and we look forward to going on this journey with you.    #globalhealthcare #futureofwellbeing #bupaglobal #ipmi #perspectives #bupaglobal

Here are the main highlights: 🔹 Incentives: A wellbeing levy or a similar policy instrument to encourage businesses to prioritise employee wellbeing. 🔹 Systemic change: Participants stressed the importance of systemic shifts, sharing Business for Health’s ongoing work with the ONS to improve health metrics and create a long-term vision for health as a key asset. Major focus on measuring outcomes and crafting holistic solutions. 🔹 Framework for employee wellbeing: creating “duty of care” guidelines to guide UK employers, providing actionable recommendations that place employee wellbeing at the heart of company policies. 🔹 Metrics: Moving beyond traditional metrics, participants explored ways to measure positive impacts on health and the economy, advocating for a unified, outcomes-based approach that highlights community health contributions. 🔹 Government collaboration and engagement: the roundtable underscored the need for sustained government engagement on long-term health initiatives — particularly policies that support employer contributions without regulatory restrictions. 🔹 Diverse workforce needs: the need to address ageism and create inclusive, supportive environments for all.

Great to be part of this wide ranging discussion today. 1️⃣ We know the case to invest in workplace wellbeing is compelling: ✔️Talent attraction ✔️ Talent retention ✔️ Absenteeism reduced ✔️Presenteeism reduced ✔️ Productivity increased, alongside the moral and legal drivers. 2️⃣ Conversely we also know that wellbeing budgets can be the first thing to be deprioritised and cut when costs are constrained. 💡 So, we need reward and incentise employers to invest in health and wellbeing ££ - a wellbeing levy, benefit relief, salary sacrifice schemes are amongst the next obvious steps. Super keen to advance ideas and discussions - please do let me know your views #corporatehealth #workplacewellbeing #evidencebasedpractice #economicgrowth Onebright Donald Fowler Professor Marcantonio Spada Vicky Hodgson Michele Golden Alison Bromley
