It is estimated that mental health problems cost UK employers £26bn each year, averaging £1,035 per employee while the latest statistics from the HSE report that 35% of work-related ill health is attributable to stress and that this also accounts for 43% if the work days lost in 2014/15.

The CIPD Change Agenda stated as far back as 2007 that employers are under pressure to address the issue of wellbeing at work not only from themselves and the need to combat the costs and risks of long-term absence, but also from employees who are starting to demand help from their employers. Not forgetting the government who are driving employers to acknowledge their impact on employees’ health, with the main aim of getting greater numbers of the working population back to work. 

So how can employers help their staff to increase their wellbeing in the workplace?

By asking for SingForce to help of course! There are many documents which outline both the physical and mental benefits of singing including increased oxygen intake which improves alertness, and better muscle tone in the back and abdominal muscles. Singing is totally absorbing and allows employees to move away from their usual workplace tasks, giving them time and space as well as a free stress management aid. There are additional benefits of not only singing but doing this in conjunction with workplace colleagues.  Singing in groups builds cooperation and teamwork, develops community-based harmonious relationships, gets people thinking and improves personal confidence. For an employer to promote and enable this within their workforce and to empower their staff to manage their wellbeing by providing opportunities such as Sing Force, is a very powerful tool indeed.
