A Business Case for Wellbeing
The last 15 years has seen a surge in the recognition of work based health and wellbeing programs, and despite strong evidence that employee mental and physical health has anundoubtable effect on the bottom line, organisations are stillfailing to incorporate wellbeing into their overarching business strategy.
Workplace wellbeing is no longer a “nice to have”. It is now a business, leadership and workplace safety issue.
UrSpace EAP’s A Business Case for Wellbeing 2026 brings together Australian-only evidence on mental health, psychosocial risk, workplace compensation trends and the commercial case for investing in mentally healthy workplaces.
The data is clear. Mental ill-health affects productivity, attendance, retention, claims exposure and workplace culture. With mental health-related claims increasing and poor mental health costing Australian businesses billions each year, employers need more than reactive support.
UrSpace helps organisations take a practical and proactive approach through Employee Assistance Programs, counselling, Mental Health First Aid training and workplace wellbeing strategies.
As part of Watkins Therapy Group, UrSpace supports workplaces across Australia with confidential support, practical resources and training designed to help teams protect, respond and promote mental health at work.
