As reported by the World Economic Forum, healthy people tend to have healthy work habits; they show more initiative, take more responsibility and engage in more successful collaborations. They’re also likely to positively influence colleagues, helping seed the growth of a healthy workplace culture by inspiring others to improve their own wellbeing.
It’s no surprise, then, that organizations benefit greatly when they promote holistic health at work. After all, there’s a direct connection between productivity and physical health, since employees who are physically active require less sick leave and have lower healthcare costs.
But holistic health acknowledges that there are numerous dimensions to wellbeing — including mental, physical and financial health. For example, employees who feel financially secure demonstrate greater levels of engagement, with 77 percent enjoying their work. On average, companies also report 12 percent higher productivity from happy employees.
Furthermore, employees who feel satisfied with their holistic health have lower rates of absenteeism and have proven to be better problem-solvers, as well as more resilient in the face of change. Together, mental, physical and financial health are key elements that support overall wellbeing, empowering employees to perform their best in both their personal and professional lives.
