Calculating a Return on your Workplace Wellness Investment
Many New Zealand companies now understand the link between employee health and
productivity. This relatively new concept is known as Health and Productivity
Management (HPM). Led by a forward-thinking corporate health services sector and
backed by good academic research, progressive employers see the value of HPM as a
strategy to improve staff engagement, productivity and ultimately the business’
bottom line.
From a Return on Investment (ROI) perspective, spending money on workplace wellness
initiatives is a sound business decision, with over 600 published studies documenting the
financial benefits.
Conservatively, the average ROI for New Zealand workplace wellness programmes
exceeds 3:1. Improving employee health is a proven way of lifting the performance of the
New Zealand workforce.
