A business can be described as a machine, a well-oiled formation that is only successful when each component down to the smallest cog works efficiently. If any part of the machine breaks down, we see production fall to a halt, unable to churn out results. In other words, if a business fails to maintain employee wellbeing within the workplace, we see productivity and engagement decline, slowly contributing to the breakdown of the entire unit.

This article outlines why promoting workplace wellbeing will result in a happier and healthier workforce, dedicated to producing success both in and out of the office.
