Staying in front requires a faster and smarter performance each year, with continuous improvement in all commercial activities a constant requirement for business success. Yet employees, who ultimately turn business plans into profit reality, are themselves under more pressure than ever before. Social, domestic and economic responsibilities place growing and conflicting demands on limited time. Physical ill health and damaged wellbeing are frequently the largely invisible result, with huge competitive and financial implications for the companies who employ these workers. Health has moved from welfare to a wealth issue. The effective management of employee health and wellbeing is therefore set to become a point of differentiation for companies who need to go on delighting their customers and shareholders alike. This book is a guide through "dangerous waters," It is written to help you understand the real commercial benefits of improving employee wellbeing and how, if this area is neglected it can, despite all the information systems, all the forecasting skills and all the business acumen, sink the organisation. In addition, the authors assert that it is companies who recognise and proactively manage these very real threats in order to improve employee health and wellbeing, who will unleash the enormous potential for increased productivity, profitability and creativity that lies within each one of their employees.
