How To Build An Effective Business Case For Wellbeing Investment

We often hear about the challenges HR managers face when trying to secure sufficient funds for transformational well-being. At a time when people are tightening their belts, it can be hard to convince senior leadership this is essential for employee performance and company productivity.

So, how does one communicate this effectively?

In this episode, we’ll show you how to build a business case that will resonate with the senior members of your team and make it easier for you to secure the investment you need.

Here are the highlights:

(03:36) HR are still trying to find their voice and that confidence that they strongly, rightfully deserve.

(07:36) How much of the plan or your solution is linked to the business goal?

(12:27) If they don't believe it’s a problem, it’s not a problem.

(14:29) Always think of it from the ‘What's in it for them?’ perspective.

(15:09) Do not though overlook the cynics and the sceptics.

(19:32) We need to speak in business case language

(26:54) You want to be realistic with the transformation or the results.

About the Podcast

The Wellbeing Rebellion

Welcome to The Wellbeing Rebellion, an award-winning podcast.

We’re Ngozi Weller and Obehi Alofoje, Directors at Aurora — a leadership and organisational effectiveness consultancy.

This podcast explores how the way organisations are led shapes performance, trust, wellbeing and culture over time.

The challenge with many approaches to wellbeing and culture is that they place responsibility on individuals to cope, rather than examining the leadership decisions, behaviours and systems that create the conditions people are working within.

This is where the conversation needs to shift.

On The Wellbeing Rebellion, we explore leadership behaviour, organisational systems and decision-making under pressure through honest conversations with senior leaders and advisors navigating real organisational complexity.

Some episodes are just us. Others bring in leaders and experts reflecting candidly on what works, what doesn’t, and what leadership requires in practice.

If you’re responsible for people, culture or organisational performance — and want to think more critically about how leadership shapes outcomes — this podcast is for you.
