Findings
Findings
As well as providing employers with an in-depth understanding of their employees’ health, and of the effectiveness of their workplace health interventions, Britain’s Healthiest Workplace also represents one of the largest and most comprehensive data-sets on workplace health and wellbeing in the UK, covering areas as diverse as lifestyle health, clinical health, mental health, work engagement, and productivity. You can access some of the key findings from the past six years of the study below.
-
Productivity
UK productivity loss is high and on a worsening trend, with employees losing the equivalent of 38 days of productive time each year through ill-health related absence and presenteeism.
-
Presenteeism
Presenteeism is the most significant driver of productivity loss, with 55 minutes of every lost productive hour arising through presenteeism – in other words, while employees are at work.
-
Employee health
There is a strong correlation between the lifestyle choices that employees make, their physical and mental health, and how they perform at work. As a result, when employees reduce their risks they become more productive.
-
Participation
Participation in workplace-based health and wellbeing interventions is low. On average, only 1 in 7 interventions offered by employers are used by employees.
