For years, wellbeing has been treated as a perk at work. A bowl of fruit here, a yoga class there. A shout-out once a month. Yet new research from Employment Hero draws a clear line between how people feel at work and how they perform.

Making the case for true employee wellbeing can sometimes feel like a tough sell, especially when targets, efficiency and outputs dominate the agenda. But what if the real driver of performance has been hiding in plain sight?

Join us for this eye-opening session with Kevin Fitzgerald, Employment Heroโ€™s UK Managing Director, as he challenges the outdated idea that wellbeing is about perks and freebies, and shows why feelings like recognition, purpose and being valued are anything but โ€œsoft.โ€

These human factors donโ€™t just make people feel good; they drive real results. And the best part? Theyโ€™re free, and already within reach.

Hereโ€™s just some of the findings:

  • Job satisfaction is the strongest predictor of employee productivity – yet it only ranks 9th in priority for SMEs.
  • Recognition-rich workplaces are 40 percent less likely to face retention issues – but it ranks 19th out of 20 productivity drivers.
  • Employees who feel recognised are 3 times more likely to be highly productive – yet 50 percent say they donโ€™t feel recognised enough.
  • People are 27 percent less likely to go above and beyond for monetary incentives – but are 25 percent more likely to help a colleague if their work feels meaningful.

At Employment Hero, we believe itโ€™s time to stop treating wellbeing as a feel-good bonus and start seeing it for what it really is: a business-critical strategy.

  • The link between job satisfaction, recognition and productivity
