Promoting Health and Well-Being – More than Just a Duty

Risk Assessment as a Tool for Employee Retention. In today’s working world, the health and well-being of employees is not just nice to have, it is essential to a company’s long-term success.

What is a Risk Assessment?

A risk assessment – as part of the Occupational Health and Safety Act – is a systematic process for identifying and evaluating all potential hazards and stressors in the workplace. It takes into account both physical and psychological factors that may impact employees’ health. A risk assessment is not just a legal requirement, but also an essential tool for safeguarding and cultivating the health and well-being of your employees.

Sick Leave at a Record High: An Alarm Signal

The latest survey “I’m Sick Today” by the PINKTUM Institute reveals worrying trends: sick days are at a record high. More than 55% of the participants reported a decrease in energy levels compared to three years ago, with this fatigue identified as a key factor in the increase in sick leave. This is especially true for young people and women. In addition, there has been a rise in the inclination to take sick leave without a legitimate reason. Almost one in three participants stated that they were sick more often and for longer than before. Taking sick leave has become increasingly acceptable, especially for young people and managers.

Risk Assessment: A Key to Improvement

In view of these developments, it is clear that a targeted risk assessment goes far beyond the mere fulfillment of legal requirements. The assessment can make a significant contribution to ensuring the psychological safety of employees and thus bolster their well-being and performance.

Use the Results of the Risk Assessment

The results of the risk assessment provide a valuable opportunity to improve your company’s workplace culture and the psychological safety of your employees. Here are some of the key benefits:

  1. Increased Productivity through Stress Reduction:
    Reducing stress factors and improving working conditions leads to increased employee performance and motivation. Less stress means more energy and a higher ability to focus on tasks.
  2. Less Absenteeism Means More Continuity:
    Healthy employees are sick less often, which reduces absenteeism and ensures the continuity of work processes. A preventive approach is necessary in order to maintain employees’ actual ability to work and reduce absenteeism in the long term.
  3. Encourage a Positive Corporate Culture:
    A proactive approach to supporting mental health will increase employee trust and satisfaction. Employees are more likely to want to come to work and enjoy working in a positive environment where they feel valued.
  4. Long-Term Loyalty:
    Satisfied and healthy employees remain loyal to a company for longer and make a significant contribution to its success. Your investment in the health and well-being of your employees pays off in the long term.
  5. Legal Compliance and More:
    In addition to all these benefits, the risk assessment ensures that the company complies with legal regulations. This not only protects against legal consequences, but also signals to employees that their employer has a vested interest in their health and safety.
