Common metrics for measuring success including absence and turnover data, and results from employee engagement surveys.
Housing association One Vision Housing invested £12,000 in its ‘Feel Good’ initiative. Tangible results included a massive reduction in absence, from 8% in 2006 to 0.93% in 2012, a reduction in staff turnover from 21% to 7% in 2011/12 and a 95% staff satisfaction rate (up from 75% in 2008).
And research by BITC has found an ROI of £6.19 for every pound invested in staff health and wellbeing. There’s no arguing with that.
