The Business Case for Coaching and Corporate Wellbeing Training
In the US, mental health initiatives see a return of $4 for every $1 spent, with the average cost of unsupported mental health in the UK consuming 99 million sick days, at a cost of £1,300 per employee + £36billion to the UK economy - per year. That's £130k a year for 100 employees.
Between 25 and 40 percent of Fortune 500 companies use coaches to help their leaders peak perform. The business demand for coaching is nearly doubling each year. Out of the $80 billion being currently spent on corporate education, FLI Research estimates that $2 billion is spent on coaching at senior executive levels in Fortune 500 companies with average return of more than $100,000, about six times what executive coaching costs them. That’s the equivalent of six round the world business class flights.
