Additional factors that employers may choose to include in the investment case for employee health and well-being: 4 Performance: A healthier, happier and more engaged workforce boosts company performance and resilience Research from the University of Oxford shows a direct correlation between employee well- being and an organization’s financial success. Companies with higher well-being scores consistently achieve greater valuations, higher profits and superior returns on assets. For example, a one-point increase in employee happiness scores was shown to be associated with a $1.39 billion to $2.29 billion increase in annual profits.36 A hypothetical “Wellbeing 100” stock portfolio, based on data from Indeed, comprising the top 100 companies in employee well-being, has significantly outperformed major stock market indexes since the start of 2021, demonstrating that high well-being scores are linked to stock performance (see Figure 4).37 Moreover, today’s workforce needs to adjust to new roles and technologies in a shifting job landscape. The rapid pace of technological change can be overwhelming. It can contribute to job insecurity and require employees to continuously upskill and adapt by, for example, focusing more on creativity, problem-solving, cognitive flexibility and emotional intelligence. The rise of remote working has blurred the lines between personal and professional life, creating a workplace culture that can enhance or harm employees’ well-being and productivity. A healthier workforce is a more resilient and adaptive workforce, better capable of navigating the uncertainties and challenges of a rapidly changing world.
