Abstract
BM Caterers has partnered with Robertson Cooper to support the launch of the Good Day at Work Insights Report 2025, unveiled at an event in Manchester attended by local senior workplace leaders, HR professionals and industry stakeholders.
The report, produced by Robertson Cooper, brings together data from almost 70,000 workers across multiple industries to understand what drives healthier, happier and higher-performing workplaces.
The findings highlight a strong and consistent link between employee wellbeing and key business outcomes including productivity, retention, advocacy and sickness absence. Other key findings include:
- Workers with high wellbeing report being productive 91% of the time and are 6.5 times more likely to recommend their organisation.
- One additional Good Day at Work per week leads to measurable gains in productivity, advocacy and intention to leave.
- Balanced workload and a sense of control are the strongest drivers of performance.
- Supportive relationships and effective management play a key role in retention and advocacy.
- Clear, meaningful goals help people feel more productive and experience more Good Days at Work.
Angus Brydon, managing director at BM Caterers, said: “The findings reinforce how crucial wellbeing is to performance. As a workplace caterer, we see every day how food, hospitality and culture shape how people feel at work.”
