...it’s the strongest predictor of financial success
Staff well-being, psychological safety, and organisational health have often been met with scepticism by companies focused on improving their bottom line.
These concepts are sometimes dismissed as utopian ideals imagined by people with topknots, sitting on beanbags, and recommending more foosball tables.
We have no topknots or beanbags—we barely have a head of hair between us—but what we do have is data.
Organisational Health is the strongest predictor of long-term profitability and competitive advantage.
The Hard Financial Impact of Organisational Health
Companies that prioritise organisational health don’t just feel better—they perform better. The numbers speak for themselves:
✔ 3x Shareholder Returns – Organisations in the top quartile for organisational health deliver, on average, three times the shareholder returns compared to those in the bottom quartile.
✔ 23% More Profitable – Teams with high employee engagement experience a 23% increase in profitability.
✔ Up to 43% Lower Turnover – Low engagement teams experience turnover rates 18% to 43% higher than highly engaged teams.
The bottom line? Organisational health is not an expense—it’s an investment in profit, performance, and long-term success.

✔ 60% of Employees Say Positive Communication is Key – The biggest driver of workplace happiness for 60% of employees is positive team interactions.
