Corporate Wellness Services in the UK industry analysis
The surge in academic research and increased media spotlight on the toll that illness and injury can take on businesses has boosted wellness services. Companies have come to appreciate the importance of corporate wellness services in trimming down these cost, saving money on an unhealthy workforce. More and more businesses have been investing in wellness services in recent years. This growing trend has been propelled by a drop in the UK unemployment rate during the same period. Massive layoffs in the financial services sector since Brexit, sluggish demand from public-sector entities, and stiff competition from gyms and in-house services have somewhat stifled growth. On top of that, the COVID-19 outbreak significantly impacted revenue in 2020-21.
Trends and Insights
- Rising health consciousness shapes the corporate wellness landscape. As awareness on lifestyle-related diseases grow, businesses are investing in wellness services to improve employee health and productivity, supporting industry growth.
- Health and fitness programs have been declining financially. COVID-19 restrictions and poor economic conditions affected these programs, leading to disruptions and cuts in spending.
- London remains a hotspot for corporate wellness services. The city's status as a financial hub with a large white-collar workforce presents a robust market for wellness operators catering to companies within the sector.
- Internal competition drives innovation. Major players fight for their market share by leveraging reputation, service range and price, making strategic marketing and versatility vital for maintaining a competitive edge.
