SR Insider: The ROI of Employee Wellbeing Programs
In today’s fast-paced work environment, employee wellbeing is no longer just a “nice-to-have.” It’s a business imperative. With burnout, stress, and disengagement on the rise, forward-thinking employers are investing in wellbeing programs—not only to support their people but also to strengthen their bottom line.
Timed with International Week of Happiness at Work (Sept 8–14), let’s break down the real return on investment (ROI) of prioritizing wellbeing in the workplace.

1. Boost Engagement & Productivity
Happy employees don’t just feel better—they perform better. Research consistently shows that teams with high wellbeing report greater focus, stronger collaboration, and higher output. Investing in wellbeing directly translates into a more engaged and productive workforce.
2. Reduce Turnover & Retain Talent
The cost of replacing an employee can be up to twice their annual salary. Wellbeing programs—whether through mental health support, flexible work options, or stress management resources—help employees feel valued and supported. The result? Lower burnout, reduced attrition, and stronger loyalty to your organisation.
3. Save Costs Through Lower Absenteeism
Stress and poor health often lead to absenteeism—and these costs add up fast. By prioritising employee wellbeing, companies see a significant drop in sick days, alongside fewer health-related productivity losses. Over time, this results in real savings for the business.
The Takeaway: Employee wellbeing isn’t just a perk—it’s an investment with measurable ROI. Happier employees are more engaged, stay longer, and cost less to manage.
At Suits Recruitment, we believe great workplaces start with people-first strategies. Investing in wellbeing today builds stronger, more resilient organisations tomorrow.
