🌍 World Health Day – 7th April 2025
Supporting Employee Wellbeing at Work
By Matthew Chilcott – Owner, Consensus HR
Every year on 7th April, World Health Day is celebrated across the globe to raise awareness of important health issues. At Consensus HR, we believe this is a great reminder for businesses to reflect on how they support the health and wellbeing of their teams.
Why does employee health matter?
Healthy employees are happier, more productive, and more engaged. Looking after the physical and mental health of your team is not just the right thing to do – it’s also good for business. A strong approach to employee wellbeing helps to reduce absenteeism, improve morale, and build a positive workplace culture.
The role of Businesses, Managers & HR in promoting wellbeing:
As business professionals, we work with businesses to create and implement policies that support both the mental health and physical health of employees. This includes:
- Providing access to Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs)
- Promoting flexible working arrangements
- Conducting regular wellbeing check-ins
- Ensuring managers are trained to spot signs of stress and burnout
- Having clear, supportive absence management and occupational health procedures
Matthew Chilcott, Owner, says:
“World Health Day reminds us that our people are our most valuable asset. At Consensus HR, we work with companies to develop tailored HR solutions that support wellbeing and encourage a culture where health, in all its forms, is a priority. We help our clients reduce people problems before they become serious issues.”
A few ways to support health in your business today:
- Encourage employees to take regular breaks
- Promote open conversations about mental health
- Offer healthy snacks in the workplace
- Arrange walking meetings or lunchtime activities
- Review and update your health and safety policies
