Why is Wellbeing Important?
For many people, ‘wellbeing’ is a vague concept and often associated with doing yoga or going for long walks. We may only think about our ‘wellbeing’ or become aware of poor mental wellbeing when something seems to have gone wrong and we feel stressed. If we just keep going and don’t find out what has happened or change anything, stress can lead to more serious difficulties affecting many aspects of day to day living.
According to the international organisation, the Office for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), “individual wellbeing and long-term economic growth are mutually reinforcing” (OECD, 2018). In other words, people who have higher levels of personal wellbeing feel satisfied with life and contribute to their family, geographic and cultural communities. This finding applies across many countries at different stages of economic development.
In the context of work and employment, employees experiencing positive wellbeing are more likely to feel they have productive and meaningful jobs and have low absence rates due to sickness. Employees describe such an environment as a ‘good or great place to work.’
Conversely, people experiencing poor mental wellbeing are likely to be less satisfied in their work role, have greater levels of sickness absence, report difficulties in working relationships with colleagues and managers and describe the working environment as ‘stressful’ or ‘toxic’.
