Employers who take care of their employees' emotional wellbeing can see a significant increase in performance. Statistics show that companies that invest in the wellbeing of their workforce see an impressive 21% increase in high performers. But that's just the beginning.
Not only the emotional, but also the physical and mental health of employees is of crucial importance. Companies that take measures to improve employee health experience a 23% increase in the mental health and a 17% increase in the physical health of their workforce.
Taking a holistic view of employee wellbeing offers companies invaluable added value. Improving the quality of life in the workplace leads to better functioning teams, increases the chances of attracting talented professionals and reduces staff turnover.
In times when social and cultural issues are dominating the global agenda, employees expect more than just lip service from their employers. Instead, they want to see missions and visions turned into action. Employers who are socially engaged experience an impressive increase from 40% to 60% of motivated employees.
Companies that offer their employees more flexibility in terms of working hours and location see significant increases in performance. In contrast, companies that stick to the traditional 9-to-5 model only see a 36% share of high performers. The days when the traditional office and 40-hour week were the norm are over. Flexibility allows teams to increase their efficiency.
The importance of appreciation for employees should not be neglected. 92% of employees think that recognition and appreciation for their performance are very important. Employers should therefore not only pay attention to physical and mental health and social commitment, but also integrate regular recognition and appreciation into everyday working life. This makes a decisive contribution to employee motivation and loyalty.
Another effective method of increasing employee satisfaction is the provision of corporate benefits. One particularly flexible option is our Regional Hero Card, a tax-free benefit in kind that employers can offer their employees. With this card, employees can use regional services and businesses, from restaurants and gyms to cultural institutions. The Regional Hero Card not only strengthens employee loyalty to the company, but also promotes the local economy.
