The Costs and Benefits of Promoting Workplace Wellness
Reduced Work-Life Conflict
- Developing and implementing a work-life business case in your organization can have many benefits, such as:
- Employees working from home may be closer to their customers' offices, thereby reducing travel time.
- Greater flexibility in employee schedules may help meet customer demand.
- Reduced stress, absenteeism and numbers of short term disability claims.
- Increased employee commitment, satisfaction and resiliency.
- More effective workload management, reduced interruptions and distractions in the workday (Human Resources and Skills Development Canada).
- A 2003 Canadian study found that employees reporting low levels of role overload and work-to-family conflict are more satisfied compared to their counterparts (Duxbury & Higgins, 2003).
