Wellbeing doesn’t just live outside the walls of your office. It doesn’t just dictate the way employees feel with their families, the energy they bring to social gatherings, or how rested they feel on weekends. It directly impacts how they show up in the workplace. From how they manage stress during tight deadlines to how clearly they communicate in meetings, how creatively they solve problems, how often they take time off or how resilient they are during change, wellbeing is the invisible driver behind everyday performance.
While many organizations are starting to prioritize employee wellbeing, few are investing in the kind of personalized support that truly makes a difference. YourCoach health coaching has a science-backed impact on employee health and wellbeing. In fact, in our recent Observational Outcomes Study, 72% of respondents reported they specifically wanted to work on work, productivity and focus with a health coach. Employees know that when they’re healthy and happy, they work differently. They’re more focused, more productive, and more energetic.
Employee wellbeing is worth investing in. Not only does it improve individual performance, it strengthens teams, enhances leadership, and creates a culture where people can truly thrive. It reduces burnout, lowers turnover, and increases engagement. It leads to fewer sick days, better collaboration, and a renewed sense of purpose. In short, investing in employee wellbeing isn’t a perk, there’s real ROI behind why it’s worth every penny. In this blog, we’ll unpack what happens when you invest in employee wellbeing through YourCoach health coaching and how that translates into measurable workplace benefits.
28% of employees surveyed reported chronic stress-related symptoms, like poor sleep, anxiety, and physical fatigue that interfere with work.
Meet Erin. She’s a client success manager at a growing SaaS company. Erin’s used to the fast-paced environment at work and to anyone who asks, she’s up for the challenge! From the outside, she’s holding it together. But inside, she’s exhausted. Her sleep is inconsistent, her anxiety spikes every Sunday evening, and lately, even small tasks feel impossible. Erin’s running on fumes. The pressure to perform has taken a toll on her mental and physical health.
Through thoughtful sessions, her YourCoach health coach helped her identify her stress patterns and understand how they were impacting her sleep and energy. Together, they built manageable routines, like a pre-sleep wind-down routine, to help her destress and develop healthy boundaries outside of work. The result? Erin stopped operating in crisis mode. She began to show up with more clarity, more patience, and more presence. She was more focused at work and was able to show up as a better leader for her teams. Her customer success and renewal rates increased steadily. Her renewed focus on health & wellbeing through health coaching didn’t just benefit her personally, it translated into stronger performance at work.
30% of employees struggle with career transitions, role ambiguity, or job insecurity.
Meet James. He was recently promoted to team lead at his marketing agency. What was supposed to feel like a win left him feeling anxious, second-guessing his decisions, and unsure how to lead peers who used to be his equals. Imposter syndrome was creeping in quickly and the weight of uncertainty was impacting his confidence and effectiveness.
YourCoach health coaching gave James something he didn’t know he needed: a safe space to process his transition without judgment. His health coach helped him unpack where the pressure was coming from, define what kind of leader he wanted to be, and co-create strategies to manage feedback, set boundaries, and communicate clearly with his team. Over time, James found his footing. And for his company, that kind of internal clarity shows up in stronger leadership, healthier teams, and overall better business outcomes. He was even able to lead a new business effort that secured a significant new client for his agency. When employees like James feel supported, the entire organization benefits.
42% of employees report limited social support, leading to higher stress and workplace disengagement.
Meet Danielle. She’s a remote executive assistant who consistently hits deadlines but often feels disconnected from her team. She rarely speaks up in meetings, feels hesitant to ask for help, and finds herself emotionally drained by the end of the workday. What her manager doesn’t see is that Danielle is struggling with isolation and loneliness. It’s starting to wear on her confidence, productivity and engagement.
Working with a YourCoach health coach helped her recognize what she was experiencing. Not only that, but she was able to identify helpful ways to build social connections that felt authentic to her. Her health coach guided her through simple mindset shifts, like reframing vulnerability as strength, and supported her in developing small daily habits that created a greater sense of connection. Over time, Danielle started to feel more comfortable showing up fully. Her motivation increased, her energy stabilized, and her contributions felt more meaningful. Her boss even remarked that she felt more engaged and on top of her day-to-day tasks. When employees feel supported, holistically, they don’t just thrive personally, but also professionally as well.
