A recent article from Gallup reveals that even with attempts to prioritize wellbeing in the workplace, research data still shows a significant gap between employer efforts and employee perceptions of just how much their organization truly cares about their well-being. When employees feel their organization truly cares about their overall wellbeing, the results speak for themselves: 📈 4.4x more likely to be engaged at work 💡 7x more likely to recommend their workplace to others 🔥 73% less likely to feel burned out regularly 🔍 53% less likely to be job hunting 🌟 50% more likely to thrive in life A culture that prioritizes wellbeing transforms workplaces into communities where people feel valued, supported, and empowered. When leaders, managers, and teams all engage in wellbeing initiatives, the benefits extend far beyond the workplace. There are things we can do to help bridge the gap between employer efforts and employee perceptions. Let’s make wellbeing a shared priority!

Wellbeing Wednesday: Embedding Sustainable Practices Workplace wellbeing is no longer an optional extra; it's a fundamental part of sustaining a thriving business. Recent insights like those from Deloitte's 2024 WellBeing at Work Survey underline the urgency. With 71% of senior executives considering leaving their roles due to unaddressed wellbeing needs, the alarm bells are ringing loud and clear. At Talent Forte, we've always believed that true workplace wellbeing must be woven into the very fabric of our culture. This summer gave us the perfect chance to reflect and plan. Now, it's time for action. Sustainable wellbeing isn't about quick fixes or perks but genuine, integrated practices. We need to address the root causes of burnout and mental health challenges, not just the symptoms. Leaders play a crucial role. They must not only endorse but embody the values of wellbeing. This includes fostering a culture of learning, prioritising team health, and managing workloads effectively. The change starts with us and flows through the organisation, creating an environment where employees feel valued and supported. Let's lead with purpose and ensure workplace wellbeing is a core part of our strategy. Visit talentforte.co.uk to learn more. #WorkplaceWellbeing #Leadership #CultureOfCare

Spending on wellbeing is up - but outcomes are down. What does this mean for workplace wellbeing? 👇 Despite a 67% increase in wellbeing budgets since 2020, global wellbeing continues to decline. Mental health issues, financial pressures, and disengagement are on the rise. So, why isn’t all this investment delivering results? Corporate Research Forum (CRF)’s latest report, Sustaining Employee Wellbeing, highlights the reasons behind the gap between investment and outcomes, and the actions organisations can take to close this gap. The report, authored by Gillian Pillans, Dr Wolfgang Seidl and Jo Nayler, underlines the importance of moving beyond quick fixes to embrace wellbeing strategies that are: ✅ Strategic: Aligned with business goals to create lasting impact. ✅ Systemic: Tackling root causes like job design and workplace culture. ✅ Evidence-driven: Informed by data to deliver measurable outcomes. We’re proud that Robertson Cooper’s work is highlighted in CRF’s findings - particularly our insights on measuring wellbeing in practice and good days at work. For example, increasing the average number of good days at work by just one leads to significant changes in productivity, job satisfaction, and sick days each year. Check out our “A Guide to Creating Good Days At Work”, which Corporate Research Forum (CRF) referenced within the report: https://lnkd.in/dKMbMa4S 💬 How is your organisation ensuring its wellbeing investments deliver real impact? Connect with Matt Liggins to discover how organisations are using data and the Good Day at Work concept to boost productivity, engagement, and job satisfaction. #Wellbeing #WorkplaceCulture #EmployeeEngagement

At Workplace Wellbeing SA, we recently partnered with the Toward Home Alliance (THA) to create lasting, positive change for their 100+ staff working in high-stress environments. Using evidence-based tools like the PERMAH wellbeing survey, we: ➡️ Achieved 70% participation and empowered staff with immediate, actionable insights. ➡️ Equipped leaders with data to address burnout and implement proactive strategies. ➡️ Fostered open communication, giving employees the confidence to voice their needs. Key leadership takeaway: wellbeing isn’t a one-off, it’s a long-term investment. THA’s leaders embraced this by prioritising staff wellbeing and embedding it into their culture. The results speak for themselves: open conversations about wellbeing, proactive strategies to prevent burnout, and employees rediscovering their purpose. As one staff member put it: "I feel like I’ve found my purpose again." If you’re curious about how to empower your team in 2025 and drive cultural change through tailored wellbeing strategies, let’s have a chat! Read the full Case Study: https://lnkd.in/g6DNc3eC We're deeply grateful to Mihiret Richards and Shaya Nettle for allowing us to share this case study in the hope that it encourages other leaders who are working in high-stress and resource-limited environments to prioritise employee wellbeing. 🙏 #workplacewellbeing #employeewellbeing #thrivingworkplaces #psychosocialhazards #positivepsychology #burnout

Every Employee Has Individual Wellbeing Needs – One Size Doesn’t Fit All! When it comes to employee wellbeing, a blanket approach just doesn’t work. Everyone has different needs based on their personal lives and circumstances, and it’s crucial for employers to recognise and support those differences. Take for example: Claire, a busy mum of two, balancing work and family life. Her wellbeing priorities might focus on flexibility, time management, and reducing stress, and she may prefer quiet time over social events. Meanwhile, Tom lives alone and values workplace interaction. In fact, for him, opportunities to talk, socialise and build connections with colleagues are key to his wellbeing, as it helps him feel less isolated. By recognising the differences, and making some simple tailored changes, organisations can provide more meaningful support. When employees feel heard and valued, they thrive - leading to happier, more productive teams. Let's move away from the one-size-fits-all approach and embrace personalised wellbeing strategies! 💡 #EmployeeWellbeing #MentalHealthAtWork #WellbeingAtWork #MentalHealthAwareness #WellbeingStrategy
