Your employees’ wellbeing is key to the success of your business!

To be competitive in today’s business environment, you need to hold on to really good employees, reduce absenteeism and limit your exposure to expensive and time-gobbling litigation.   Breathing Space for Business offers just the solutions you’ve been looking for to improve staff retention, reduce absenteeism, enhance performance – AND helps protect your company from expensive and time-consuming employment tribunals resulting from ill-health and undue stress.

We specialise in providing objective, practical support for businesses who understand that having a happy and healthy workforce improves performance and overall results and encourage co-operation and sharing of responsibility for wellbeing throughout your organisation.

These claims are supported by research from the DTi which shows that employees who are happy at work are 34% more effective whilst Harvard research shows that companies who ensure employees are appropriately challenged, deliver 30 times better than those who do not.

HSE research also shows that undue stress is a major contributor to ill health, absenteeism and lack of motivation and that employment tribunal claims against companies for undue stress are due to rise dramatically.

In financial terms the estimated cost of sickness absence to the UK as a whole is around £12 billion a year. Stress is the single largest cause of occupational ill health, accounting for around half of all days lost to work-related ill health in these sectors.

Looking at it another way, latest statistics show that each absence relating to stress equates to an average of 30 days absence from work.  If you base this on a salary of say £30,000, the cost per case is roughly £4,500 (and probably much more when you take other operational costs into account).   Breathing Space for Business programmes start from as little as £75 per person and could be the best investment you ever made!

Your business needs an effective wellbeing or stress management policy which conforms to HSE guidelines and that is communicated clearly to your staff. But it’s not just about policy and paying lip service to cover your liability, it’s about adopting practices and initiatives that become part of the company culture and are followed through in the day to day running of your business.

You may think that nobody could possibly understand the pressures of your particular business? You may be surprised how often similar situations arise in very different businesses. Perceived poor communication, poor organisation, motivational issues, ‘us and them’ cultures and so on. Also personal issues such as sleeplessness and the inability to switch off or to get the work/life balance right.
