How to Get a Clear ROI on Your Employee Wellbeing in the Workplace

💰 Employee Wellbeing and ROI: What CFOs Want You to Know

As conversations about mental health in the workplace become more mainstream, another conversation is happening behind the scenes—especially at the board level:

“How do we justify the spend?”

With post-pandemic budget pressures still looming, many organisations are trying to balance rising employee wellbeing needs with tighter financial constraints.

In this episode, I’m joined by Helga Taylor, CFO, to explore how investing in employee wellbeing in the workplace can deliver not just feel-good results, but tangible financial returns.

🧠 Mental Health in the Workplace Isn’t Just a Line Item

It’s easy to look at wellbeing initiatives as “nice extras.”
But here’s what the data shows: untreated stress, burnout, and poor mental health lead to higher absenteeism, reduced productivity, and increased staff turnover.

When you build an effective wellbeing strategy, you’re not just supporting people—you’re safeguarding performance.

📉 The Real Cost of Ignoring Mental Health Support

Workplace mental health support isn’t optional.
It’s the difference between:

• A high-performing, resilient team

• And a reactive culture constantly putting out fires

Helga shares how CFOs assess risk, justify investment, and think strategically about wellbeing, not as a cost centre, but as an ROI-positive initiative.

✅ What Actually Delivers ROI?

Spoiler alert: one-off workshops and generic wellbeing apps won’t cut it.

You need:

• A consistent, measurable approach

• Mental health training for managers

• Company wellbeing programmes that actually shift culture

• Support that addresses the root causes of stress—not just the symptoms
