Supporting businesses, supporting people
Why INVEST IN THE mental health of your employees?
It’s good business.
For every dollar spent on staff wellbeing initiatives, NZ businesses can expect to see a 12x return within a year, according to modeling by Xero and the NZ Institute of Economic Research. Potential benefits include greater staff productivity, reduced rates of burnout and lower staff turnover.
It’s your legal responsibility as an employer.
The NZ Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 defines health as including mental health, which means business owners have the responsibility to monitor, remove or reduce risks to employee’s mental health wherever possible.
Prevention is better than cure.
Small changes can go a long way to support the mental wellness of your employees. On the other hand, once employees reach the point of burnout, the effect on productivity, staff turnover and on your business can be significant and long-lasting.
