Book a top UK wellness speaker to help you make positive changes in your business during National Wellness Month
August is National Wellness Month. This month offers businesses a great opportunity to refresh and strengthen their workplace wellness programs.
Employee wellbeing is more important than ever. Companies who invest in their workplace culture and mental wellbeing see tangible benefits, including increased productivity, employee retention and satisfaction.
A major report from Workhuman and Gallup shows that organisations who champion employee wellness have lower burnout rates, a stronger sense of belonging and more engaged employees. The data shows that:
- Nine out of ten employees look at wellness programs when evaluating potential employers.
- 79% of workers report moderate to high levels workplace stress.
- One in four employees feels unable to handle the pressures at work.
Mental Health First Aid England’s research confirms this finding, showing that stress is the leading cause of absenteeism. Nearly 10 % of UK adults take time off for mental health reasons, and 45 % of these absences last a month or more.
How expert speakers can transform your workplace
The Motivational Speakers Agency can help you start internal discussions about self-care and resilience. These speakers are not just entertainers; they are also educators, motivational speakers, and changemakers.
Jack Hayes Founder and Director, of the agency explains:
We have a roster of speakers that is unmatched. They can inspire teams and raise awareness. They can also help create a supportive and productive work environment. Mental health-related sickness leave is at an all-time-high, so engaging a speaker not only boosts morale but also makes good business sense.
