INCREASING WORKFORCE VALUE

Two thirds of workers feel more stressed, run-down and prone to illness since the credit crunch.Financial and job insecurity created by the global downturn has caused a sharp increase in employee stress and anxiety, putting strain on employers to ensure this doesn’t translate into increased absence or lost productivity.

Even though you may no longer be able to guarantee jobs, you can still protect the wellbeing of your workforce with simple cost-effective measures from The Validium Group. Each designed to reduce the susceptibility of your workforce to anxiety-related illnesses and boost their energy levels in ways that will also enhance their ability to perform at work.Now it pays to energise workers and invest in their physical wellbeing to motivate them to release their full potential.

A devitalised or depressed workforce will fail to unlock discretionary effort and underperform.The health and ability of your workforce to attend and perform at work is one of your most important business drivers. The failure of just one employee to turn up to work can have a seriously detrimental effect.

At the same time, employees who consistently attend work only to put in ‘face-time’ without bringing any drive, passion or creativity to their role will add little more value.

Essential to creating a workforce of vitalised people, who will throw themselves into doing a great job, is increasing wellbeing, resilience and engagement with simple measures designed to show you care.

Simple measures designed to boost employee wellbeing and resilience show employees you care and boost performance.

What can you do?Cost-effective measures you can put in place to optimise the health and vitality of your workforce include:

n Diagnose: Enable employees to identify potential problems and health risks when you provide accessto heart-risk assessment, blood sugar level, blood pressure, cholesterol, mole diagnosis and many othertypes of health screening.

n Empower: Provide employees with access to expert advice and insights on how to improve nutrition, giveup smoking, manage anxiety and stress and prevent back problems through sitting properly at work and inthe car.

n Educate: Facilitate ongoing access to expert advice and online surveys to help employees make positivechanges to their diet and health with regularly updated advice on everything from eating habits to their riskof heart disease.

n Sustain: Generate long-term behaviour change by encouraging team sporting or support group activities,such as smoking cessation or diet clubs, and foster great engagement and employee communication at thesame time.

n Support: Provide those employees identified as being at real risk of developing a serious health problem, orsuffering from depression or anxiety, with access to qualified support services to facilitate a quick recovery.

n Maintain: Encourage the culture change required to transform a culture of presenteeism into a vibrant andenergised workforce by ensuring senior management is seen to be taking part in, if not leading, wellbeinginitiatives.
