Cost Effective Workplace Wellbeing – That Works

Cost effective workplace wellbeing isn’t a luxury—it gives you the competitive edge.

A cost effective workplace wellbeing strategy can unlock your team’s full potential. It helps you attract and retain top talent; reduce recruitment costs, and improve employee engagement, creativity, and business growth.

When Does Wellbeing Become a Strategic Advantage

One of the biggest myths in business?

That employee wellbeing is only for profitable times. In reality, workplace wellbeing is a proven driver of business performance.

Organisations investing in wellbeing benefit from a motivated, healthy, and resilient workforce, ultimately seeing measurable returns.

Your People Are Your Competitive Edge

When your employees feel supported, healthy, and valued, they perform better – simple as that.

But if they’re stressed, burnt out, or feel undervalued – it can lead to underperformance, poor morale, and costly staff turnover. Investing in employee wellbeing is an investment in your bottom line.

Measuring the Value of Wellbeing

Track these key metrics to see the real cost of not investing in wellbeing:

1. Training Costs

• Total annual spend on training
• % lost to staff turnover

2. Recruitment Costs

• Agency fees, job ads, time spent hiring
• Plus: loss in productivity & pressure on your team

3. Temporary Staffing Costs

• Spend on agency staff to cover sickness or burnout

4. Cost of Underperformance

• Revenue lost from missed deadlines, mistakes, or lost sales

The ROI of Workplace Wellbeing

According to Deloitte’s 2024 report, for every £1 invested in workplace wellbeing, organisations see an average return of £5.30.

• A £10,000 investment = up to £53,000 in savings
• Retaining two employees or preventing one senior burnout can justify the entire spend
