Positive Psychology, the scientific study of well-being, is increasingly recognised as having potentially major, lasting benefits in the workplace, with evidence showing that employees with higher levels of well-being are more focused and engaged with their work, have more motivation, less stress-related illness and absenteeism, are better team-players and perform better overall.
Today’s corporate leaders acknowledge the importance of having a holistic approach to business, and have come to realise that continual programmes of employee reward and recognition are the answer to creating and maintaining corporate wellness.
A successful reward programme is not just for Christmas
According to the latest market research, non-cash rewards are by far the most appropriate means of rewarding employees; cash does not motivate, it pays bills! A personal non-cash reward generates a physical transaction which leads to a positive reaction.
Providing on-site therapy treatments to your staff or rewarding them with therapy gift vouchers, which hold a tangible, high perceived value for recipients, offer a much appreciated personal touch and create a wealth of goodwill and loyalty.
The latest stats on the HSE website show that 28.5 million working days were lost overall in 2009/10 due to ill health (1.2 days per worker), with musculoskeletal disorders, mainly affecting the back and upper limbs or neck, followed by stress, depression or anxiety, being the most commonly reported illness types. Industry sectors with ill health rates statistically significantly higher than the rate for all industries were health and social work, and public administration. See guidance for both businesses and employees at
http://www.hse.gov.uk/guidance/index.htm recommending physical therapy as an ongoing way of preventing and coping with these challenges.
