The Real Cost of Employee Burnout and the 6:1 Wellness ROI
Mental health has been trending more and more in the past few years. Recently mental health in the workplace has also been trending. Now is the time to jump on the bandwagon before it’s too full.
The companies that typically see the highest retention rates, not only offer extra benefits like mental health care, but some are going above and beyond. Providing stress relieving activities like on-site pool tables and basketball courts, or having mental health days in the office. That last one is crucial, and we can help with that.
In today’s world
Employees and high up executives are all facing extreme levels of stress and burnout. These mental health struggles are:
reducing productivity and output
lowering engagement and support
increasing absenteeism and presenteeism
Presenteeism is when workers are disengaged. They’re at work, but are mentally checked out.
All these struggles are costing businesses thousands more than just typical employee and health care expenses.
Are you seeing these signs in your workplace?
If not, kudos and let’s work together to keep it that way.
If you are, it is time to invest in your employees and their wellbeing.
It isn't just the right thing to do, it's necessary. It’s the smartest, most cost-effective way to improve company culture, retention, and productivity.
Did you know? Stress-related illnesses can cost businesses $3k or more per employee each year? The NSC and NORC at the University of Chicago analyzed and produced these stats and created a Mental Health Cost Calculator: < https://www.nsc.org/mentalhealthatwork#/>
But, before you go and do that, there’s more!
Businesses also lose close to $5k in absences and another $6k in turnover. That’s a total of $14k per employee each year that is lost due to stress and poor mental health. If you’re a small company, you need every dollar to grow. If you’re a large corporation, you’re talking about millions in lost revenue.
These statistics paint a clear picture that employee wellbeing is no longer just a perk, it is an absolute necessity for the longevity of any business, no matter how big or small.
6:1 ROI
According to a study by Harvard researchers, for every 1 dollar a company spends on preventative wellness, their costs fall about $3 in medical and another $3 from reduced absences. That saves you a total of $6 for every $1 you spend; a 6 - 1 return on your investment.
On top of saving thousands of dollars, wellness programs can also increase productivity by 15%. A healthy and supportive workforce is a productive workforce.
