Impact Analysis

To build the case for ongoing funding, we conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the Hub’s impact on staff wellbeing and organisational efficiency. The analysis showed that the Hub provided mental health support to approximately 1,000 individuals per year, significantly reducing anxiety and depression symptoms – using evidence-based tools.

This demonstrated that:
• 25% of those who had taken sick leave were able to return to work
• 10% of those at risk of absence remained in their roles after receiving support
• 45% reported feeling more focused and engaged at work

These findings demonstrated the critical role of the Hub in workforce retention and productivity, reinforcing its value as a long-term investment.

Economic Analysis

Alongside analysis wider outcomes, detailed financial analysis was undertaken to quantify the economic benefits of the Hub. We modelled the cost savings associated with reduced sickness absence and improved presenteeism.

This was applied against the costs of operating the Hub, taking account of the counter factual. The results indicated a £4-£5 return on investment for every £1 spent on the Resilience Hub, driven by reductions in agency cover costs and increased workforce productivity. This compelling financial case provided a strong foundation for future funding discussions, ensuring that investment in staff wellbeing was framed not just as a moral imperative but as a cost-effective strategy for NHS organisations.
