How to Waste Your
Budget on Wellbeing
(And What to do
Instead)
Lee Chambers
A Very Quick Intro
• Lived Experience
• Industrial Knowledge
• Business Acumen
• Qualifications and
Expertise
What Can Strategically
Delivered Wellbeing Achieve?
• The obvious benefits – Sickness, Retention,
Engagement, Productivity
• The hidden costs – Mistakes, Conflict,
Accidents, User Experience
• The harder to measure benefits – Talent
Attraction, Efficiencies, Reputation, Innovation
• Increasingly important in the dynamic world –
an ability to be resilient and manage change
and stress, make decisions and solve problems
That Sounds
Amazing –
Where Can We
Get Some?
• It starts with strategy and a sustainable business
case
• Over 50% of UK SME’s don’t have a dedicated
wellbeing strategy – public sector leads the way
• Without a strategy, you are almost certain to fall
into the many pitfalls and traps that chasing
wellbeing will set for you
• Let’s explore a number of these issues that will
cause you to waste your hard secured budgets
Ways to Waste Your
Budget on Wellbeing
• No Data, Poor Data, No Measurement
• Low Engagement
• Reactive Purchasing
• Lack of Research
• Not Considering HR’s Barriers
• A Poor Workplace Culture
• Trying to Add Value before addressing
Fundamentals
• One Size Fits All
What Should
We Do
Instead?
Nobody buys in wellbeing to fail
It starts with simple questions
Gather data, find gaps, measure baseline
Ask employees; participation matters
Get designing; keep it simple
Launch it; let people know
Review, evolve, embed
Sustainability and Momentum: The Holy Grail
The benefits of wellbeing are compounding,
both organisationally and individually
Through measuring, evolution and embedding, it
becomes less work and creates its own business
case, and effective spend no matter the budget
It is easy to do more of what is working and
rapidly change what isn’t
For maximum impact, a simple strategy will be
your GPS to get to destination wellbeing and
performance
