Burnout is at an all-time high, resulting in falling performance and a mass exodus of workers.
Prevention is better than cure; real-time support is essential for addressing these challenges.
In manual labour industries, while machinery and tracking technology have improved, support and training for workers have not kept pace. This lack of focus on people has resulted in stagnating productivity, high turnover, and increased costs from delays and accidents, showing that automating tasks alone doesn't support the workforce effectively.​
Workers are the most valuable asset in these industries, yet their breakdowns often go unnoticed as stress builds silently. Without early detection, issues can escalate quickly.
Solutions must be flexible for individuals and scalable across teams, focusing on real-time support to ensure that teams remain safe and perform at their best.
Spot risks before they Escalate: the power of real-time data
In manual labour industries, real-time data can help identify emerging risks—whether it’s stress spikes, safety concerns, or coordination breakdowns.
With access to live information, you can act swiftly to address issues before they escalate. This allows for quicker reactions to changing conditions and helps prevent accidents or delays, ultimately improving safety, performance, and team cohesion on-site.
Young people are bad at managing Stress
​
Today’s younger workforce is more likely to experience stress and burnout than previous generations.
Nearly 1 in 3 people under 25 have taken time off due to stress, compared to 1 in 5 across all age groups. This shift in attitudes means that ignoring stress on-site is no longer an option.
Preventing presenteeism and addressing stress proactively not only improves team performance but reduces the significant costs associated with absenteeism and lost productivity.
How we react to stress matters as much as the strain itself
Work-related stress is about how workers react to pressure, not just the strain they endure.
By focusing on real-time reactions and changes in energy levels, we can address problems as they arise- improving group dynamics and preventing stress from building silently. Keeping an eye on individual and team responses ensures timely interventions that prevent burnout and enhance overall performance.
Invest in Wellbeing, reap stronger performance
Investing in your team’s wellbeing isn’t just the right thing to do- it’s a smart business decision.
Studies show that every £1 spent on improving employee wellbeing results in £4.70 in productivity gains.
By supporting mental and physical health, you can increase engagement, reduce absenteeism, and enhance performance. A focus on wellbeing is an investment that strengthens both your people and your bottom line.
