Audiobook | Report - Creating a Culture of Trust
BSI Reports and Whitepapers provide expert insights, guidance, and analysis on various topics related to standards, compliance, and best practices. They are designed to inform and educate organizations, industries, and policymakers about emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities in areas where standards play a critical role.This episode is an abridged audio version of the BSI Report - The Value of Creating a Culture of Trust: Exploring the impact of workplace health and wellbeing support on productivity.Across many advanced economies, productivity has stagnated while economic inactivity and workplace absence linked to ill-health have increased. As employers navigate demographic change, evolving ways of working and growing wellbeing challenges, understanding how workplace culture influences productivity has become an increasingly important priority for organizations and policymakers alike.The Creating a Culture of Trust report examines how employee confidence in raising health and wellbeing challenges affects productivity across the UK, US and Germany. Drawing on new research, it introduces the concept of the “confidence productivity premium” and shows how supportive workplace cultures and standards-based approaches can reduce absenteeism, improve retention and unlock measurable economic value for employers and the wider economy.Series | AudiobooksFind out more about the issues raised in this episodeThe Value of Creating a Culture of TrustGet involved with standardsGet in touch with The Standards [email protected] a voice messageFind and follow on social mediaX @StandardsShowInstagram @thestandardsshowLinkedIn | The Standards Show
