Employees are a company’s greatest asset – they’re your competitive advantage.
Anne M. Mulcahy
In today’s competitive business landscape, prioritizing ‘employee well-being‘ is crucial for success. This is especially true in Canada’s diverse and skilled workforce, where enhancing employee engagement directly correlates with business performance. Studies show companies focusing on employee well-being outperform others by 202%, highlighting the undeniable link between a healthy work environment and corporate success.
The Link Between Employee Wellness and Productivity
The well-being of employees is inextricably linked to their productivity. A report from the Mental Health Commission of Canada found that mental health problems and illnesses account for approximately 30% of short- and long-term disability claims in the country. When employees are mentally and physically healthy, they are more engaged, focused, and productive.

Fostering a Positive Workplace Culture
At ElektraFi, we believe in fostering a workplace culture that values and supports each individual. This approach aligns with the Canadian workplace trend, where a positive work environment is increasingly being recognized as a vital component for attracting and retaining top talent. According to Statistics Canada, companies that invested in workplace wellness programs saw a 1.5 to 1.7 return on investment for every dollar spent.
Reducing Turnover and Building Loyalty
Employee well-being is also a crucial factor in reducing turnover rates. The cost of replacing an employee in Canada can be as high as 1.5 to 2 times the employee’s annual salary, considering recruitment, training, and lost productivity. By prioritizing employee well-being, businesses not only save costs associated with high turnover but also build a loyal workforce

Well-being and Innovation
A workforce that is well taken care of is more likely to be innovative and creative. Canadian businesses are increasingly recognizing this, as evidenced by a Deloitte study, which found that companies focusing on employee wellness experienced a 20% increase in innovation and creativity. In the fast-evolving financial services sector, where ElektraFi operates, this aspect of employee well-being is particularly crucial.
