£138,000,000,000 Thats a lot of zero's right 😦 But That’s how much #UKbusinesses are losing annually to workplace sickness, including absenteeism and presenteeism, according to 2024 up to date data Now Add to this the staggering £30,614 average cost of replacing a single employee earning over £25,000, AND it’s clear to see that poor leadership and workplace culture are costing your businesses dearly Now from my own research I know you always have to start with the leaders Because When leaders lack Emotional Intelligence (EI)or (EQ) as you may know it The ripple effects are absolutely massive Let me break it down for you 👇 THE COST OF POOR EI IN LEADERSHIP 👉 Lost Productivity Teams with disengaged leaders are 25% less productive 👉 Toxic Culture 75% of employees leave managers, NOT jobs 👉 Mental Health Impacts 1 in 6 employees experience mental health challenges due to poor workplace environments, costing businesses BILLIONS NOW FOR THE BENEFITS BELOW 👇 The Benefits When Leaders Lead with EI 📈 Higher Retention Companies with emotionally intelligent leaders see up to a 58% drop in turnover rates 📈 Increased Profitability Businesses with high EI teams achieve 34% higher profit margins 📈 Better Engagement Teams with EI driven managers report being 76% more engaged, leading to increased innovation and resilience So Why Should EI Matter to You? Quite simple Leaders set the tone Your ability to understand and manage emotions directly influences communication, motivation, and trust across your team Simply put Emotional Intelligence is the key to sustainable success So question for you all Are you leading with EI, or is your leadership costing your business more than you realise 🤔 🤷♀️ #leadership #emotionalintelligence #workplacewellbeingdoneproper #hr #mentalhealthatwork #somethingbigiscoming 😮💨 ------------------------------- I’ve got something BIG coming Something that is designed to equip leaders AND its packed with the EI tools to transform workplace wellbeing, culture, and performance ✔️ IMPACT ✔️ ROI ✔️ INCREASED PROFITS💰 ✔️ STAFF RETENTION ✔️ ENGAGEMENT IT'S JAM PACKED WITH ALL THE RIGHT GOODIES 😉 💥 Spaces are EXCLUSIVE and VERY LIMITED But you can grab a space for your workplace 💬 DM me with the word LEADER or Get your name on the waitlist here 👇 https://lnkd.in/eP6chZMr Workplace wellbeing done right starts with YOU DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS OPPORTUNITY 😮💨
