Infographic: The Business Case for Well-Being At Work

At BolsterUp, when we talk about organizational well-being we define it in two parts:

1. Well-being at work is that which meets the inner needs (emotional, psychological, social, and physical) of every person in the organization
2. Well-being at work initiatives improve business outcomes

The reason for the two-part definition? There has to be a solid business case, or efforts will fail as other priorities, ones that do have a solid business case, take precedence.

Over the last few years, there have been a steady drumbeat of studies that show that there is indeed a solid business case for initiatives that support well-being at work. Done right, organizational well-being will improve performance, engagement, attraction, retention, customer service, loyalty, and profitability.

We compiled several key data points from recent studies into an infographic. Wondering about the business case for well-being at work? Now you can see it at a glance.
