IMPROVE

People’s well-being is the best predictor of performance, productivity and sickness absence.
Many organisations are dissatisfied with their current well-being programmes. They are expending resource but the payback is questionable. In these situations, we review existing plans and show teams how they can improve their return on investment.

As experts in the field of employee well-being, we undertake a systematic, analytical review of existing activity. We provide a comprehensive analysis of all processes, services and products.

We examine how they deliver against well-being outcomes and best practice. Using a tried and tested approach based on Cost Benefit Analysis modelling, we give an independent appraisal on a programme and its effectiveness.

Did you know.....

  • 'Conservative estimates show that the burden of impaired health equates to 15% of payroll. Despite this, less than 10% of organisations know their cost to benefit ratio on health'.
  • 'The research consistently points to the fact that people's well-being is the best predicator of performance, productivity and sickness and absence'.

Our recommendations guide organisations on how to improve their programme. Our approach is practical and based on our extensive experience of what works and what does not. Good programme design will result in good programme effectiveness.
