Managers are apparently unconcerned with the wellbeing of their staff, it has emerged.
A new survey by Business in the Community (BITC) has shown that 31 per cent of employees feel their health is neglected in the workplace.
Nearly half of workers feel ignoring employee wellbeing has impacted negatively on productivity and a further 62 per cent of those polled said they feel bosses think staff are not worth investing in.
Parliamentary under secretary at the Department for Work and Pensions Lord McKenzie of Luton urged leaders to show support and take action for a new campaign launched by BITC to tackle this very issue.
The Business Action on Health campaign is calling for 75 per cent of the FTSE 100 companies to report on staff wellbeing in four years time.
"UK's future profitability is dependent on a healthy and motivated workforce, and individual businesses have much to gain in terms of reduced sick leave and recruitment costs," he said.
Sir Nigel Rudd, chairman of Boots Group, spoke last week of the need to tackle the issue of health at work.
