Organisations need to prioritise employee wellness as stress levels in the UK continue to rise, according to Craig Sweeney, EVP of global strategic talent solutions at WilsonHCG.
During an interview with reporters from theHRDIRECTOR, he looked at the latest data from Claro Analytics, WilsonHCG’s talent intelligence and labour market analytics platform, which revealed that less than 1% of UK job postings list wellness programmes as a benefit.
This signals that employee wellness is still seen as a nice-to-have rather than the critical part of talent engagement programmes that is should be, Sweeney said.
He added:
Aside from the moral and ethical responsibility to look after employees, providing wellness support also helps with talent attraction and retention.”
