B.A holistic state encompassing physical, mental, and social health enabling workers to thrive inside and outside work
C.The provision of statutory minimum break periods and basic occupational health surveillance
D.A set of employee benefits restricted exclusively to physical fitness facilities and health insurance
Explanation: Workplace wellbeing goes beyond the mere absence of illness or injury to encompass physical, mental, and social health. It involves creating working conditions and a supportive culture where employees can flourish both professionally and personally.
2An organization is building a financial business case for investing in employee wellbeing. Which of the following represents a major direct financial cost of poor workplace wellbeing?
A.Higher brand equity and improved market reputation

A.Absenteeism

C.Leaveism
D.Turnover
Explanation: Presenteeism occurs when employees report to work while unwell or impaired, leading to significantly reduced productivity, poorer quality of work, and risk of further health deterioration.

A.Presenteeism
B.Absenteeism
C.Leaveism

C.Safety is mandatory; health is optional; wellbeing is relevant only for senior executives
D.Safety, health, and wellbeing are identical terms with no practical or conceptual distinctions

C.Employers are legally required to provide free gym memberships and catered organic lunches to all staff
D.Statutory duties apply only after an employee has been diagnosed with a clinical mental health condition
Explanation: Legal statutory duties mandate that employers protect employee health, safety, and welfare so far as is reasonably practicable. This includes taking reasonable steps to prevent work-related mental ill-health and psychological injury.
