Business Benefits

• The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) estimates that stress costs business £3.8 billion a year*.
• The 2007 Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health report, Mental Health at Work: Developing the business case, suggests that the overall cost to employers of mental ill-health are the equivalent of £1,035 per employee per year. Of this total, the report suggests that only £335 (32.4%) is due to absenteeism, while £605, or 58.4%, is due to ‘presenteeism’. Presenteeism is defined as ‘the loss in productivity that occurs when employees come to work but function at less than full capacity because of ill health’*.

It is evident from the statistics that it cost companies millions of pounds per year for absenteeism and high attrition rates. So how will Lifestyle-pa help your company?

Absenteeism
• Increase wellbeing and vitality of workforce by educating the issue of “habits” using Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and understanding of one’s self.
• Increase efficiency of workforce, through understanding and knowledge, as a healthier workforce is more likely to perform well and have less time off sick.

Retention
• Typically employee replacement costs range between £2,000 and £10,000 per individual. Investing as little as £25 per employee you could increase retention and decrease your losses.
• Increasing retention will be gained through better working relations through understanding you, a sense of feeling cared for by the employer and decreased stress levels with increased energy.

Productivity
• It is well documented that the better we feel the more productive and efficient we are.
• It is believed that it costs £605 per year per employee (those who has suffered ill health) in lost productivity when they are in work but not functioning at full capacity. No skill training is going to improve this cost, only health and well being.

Employee Engagement
• When we have a balanced work life relationship and feel energised and healthy, focusing on work and delivering high standards takes less. Knowing how to gain this on a daily basis is what Lifestyle-pa is here to deliver.
