WHISAtwork - Your workforce isn’t just your greatest asset

29 October 2026

Jump to

Your workforce isn’t just your greatest asset—their physical and mental wellbeing is the single biggest driver of your organisation’s resilience, performance, and bottom line.

Yet the cost of leaving workforce health unaddressed is staggering:

  • $1 Trillion: Annual cost to the global economy in lost productivity (WHO).
  • 12 Billion: Working days lost globally each year to anxiety and depression alone (WHO/ILO).
  • 52%: Of employees report feeling actively burned out under modern workplace pressures.

Protecting Your Asset: Preventive Health That Drives ROI

Through the WHIS at Work partnership with Suhail Mirza, we help organisations transition from reactive support to proactive health infrastructure:

  • 50% Lower Turnover: High-wellbeing organisations retain critical talent, protecting institutional knowledge and cutting costly recruitment cycles.
  • Measurable Financial Return: Delivering an average $4 to $6 return for every $1 invested in preventive health and wellbeing initiatives (Deloitte).

Cross-Sector Impact

While our work is proven within rigorous public healthcare environments, we bring this strategic expertise directly into high-pressure commercial sectors:

  • Retail: Safeguarding frontline teams against customer-facing fatigue, erratic shift patterns, and high attrition.
  • Corporate & Professional Services: Building executive resilience, mitigating sustained cognitive overload, and protecting key billable talent.
  • Tech: Countering hyper-growth burnout, “always-on” remote culture, and developer exhaustion.
  • Construction: Addressing acute safety risks, physical fatigue, and the critical, often-overlooked mental health pressures in high-risk site environments.
  • Education: Mitigating educator burnout, high leadership turnover, and sustained emotional fatigue across schools, multi-academy trusts, and higher education institutions.
