Workplace Wellbeing
Investing in organisational wellbeing initiatives can have up to a 12:1 return on investment.
Workplace Wellbeing
According to the NZIER, poor mental wellbeing affects decision making and productivity for an average of 13 weeks. Happier, healthier employees are more productive and more profitable than their burned out, unsatisfied teammates.

Workplace Wellbeing For Groups
Our Workplace Wellbeing program is a modular curriculum based on the Four Cornerstones of Wellbeing:
- Mental Wellbeing
- Communication Skills
- Bullying & Harrasment
- Physical Wellbeing
The Foundation Module is a standalone module, giving an overview of the Four Cornerstones. It is also an ideal tool for your organisation’s people leaders to attend and identify which teams and individuals would most benefit from attending the more concentrated Cornerstone Modules.
Each module will equip participants with an understanding of the impact on individuals and organisations when we overlook wellbeing in our workplaces.
Participants will leave with practical, achievable and effective strategies to promote wellbeing for themselves, their colleagues, and the organisation as a whole.

Staff Wellbeing Improves the Bottom Line
If you are ignoring wellbeing, you are missing out on money!
New figures from the NZIER indicate that for every single dollar you spend on staff wellbeing, you will earn an average of $5 back on your investment within a year – money that is otherwise lost to poor productivity.
In fact, this return on investment can go as high as 12:1 – or $12 back for every dollar spent on wellbeing.
- Creating a wellbeing culture that supports the physical and mental health of your team goes a long way to reducing the costs and impacts of getting help for staff who need it
- It’s expensive to have unhappy, distracted employees.
- poor wellbeing negatively affects a person’s decision-making and productivity for an average of 13 weeks a year. (That’s three months!)
- Happier, healthier employees are more productive and profitable than their burned out, unhappy teammates. And this flows on to your business – healthy people, healthy bottom line.
- Improved focus and better decision-making leads to higher productivity during the workday.
- Feeling happy and like you belong can be a driver for upskilling and remaining part of the team.
