Employee well-being increases business competitiveness

According to experts in Corporate Social Responsibility, European companies will have to offer their employees quality of life if they want to compete with emerging countries, because the health of 35 percent of their workers is affected by their daily work. This was at least what was stated at the 2nd International Forum on Prevention Culture in the Workplace, held in Gran Canaria. The workforce is the company’s strategic asset, helping drive its economic development and therefore deserving of consideration. To this end, employees must be integrated and valued, which will undoubtedly benefit the organization. That is why Grupo Alares® believes that Corporate Social Responsibility, which generates efficiency and profitability, must begin within the company itself. Investing in human capital and offering workers quality of life by helping them reconcile their professional, family, and personal lives will create value for the organization itself. In addition, the experts who attended this meeting stated that employee well-being is a good indicator of how well a company is functioning.
