Work Healthy Australia

The data is clear – healthy employees drive business success. Yet, many organisations still see workforce health as a cost rather than an investment. The latest research from McKinsey & Company shows the ROI on employee wellbeing is undeniable: 📊 The business case for workplace health: ✔️ Companies with a "culture of health" see 11% lower turnover ✔️ A 1-point increase in employee happiness correlates with $1.39B to $2.29B in annual profit gains ✔️ Reducing absenteeism and presenteeism could unlock $3.7T to $11.7T in global economic value ✔️ Happier employees are 13% more productive ✔️ Investing in employee health can provide returns worth 17% to 55% of average annual pay per employee Why this matters A resilient, engaged workforce is not just a competitive advantage – it’s a necessity. Businesses that invest in workforce health experience greater retention, higher productivity, and stronger long-term growth. At Work Healthy Australia, we help organisations turn these insights into action, ensuring employees stay healthy, engaged, and productive. Are you prioritising workplace health in 2025? Let’s start the conversation. #EmployeeWellbeing #WorkplaceHealth #Leadership #HR #Productivity #WorkHealthyAustralia #BusinessGrowth
