The workforce has a new top worry. Why wellbeing is key for the bottom line
- The competition for top talent is not subsiding, and as the workforce continues to place greater importance on work-life balance, the issue of employee wellbeing is taking centre stage.
- By creating work-life wellness programmes that work and seeing excellent results, about 79% of employees whose organisations have wellness programs said the HR department genuinely cares about them.
- The State of Work-Life Wellness 2025 shows today’s workforce is seeking a comprehensive suite of solutions that address their needs and aspirations.
- Work stress has become the leading cause of decreased mental wellness, while only about half of employees consider themselves to be in good physical shape, says the report.
- Some employers believe that having health insurance, access to mental health resources and perhaps sporadic opportunities for stress reduction are enough. However, today’s employees have a deeper, more nuanced vision of wellness.
- 83% of employees said they’d consider leaving their current employer due to a lack of focus on wellbeing, and 89% said that when seeking a job, they’ll only consider companies that prioritise employee wellbeing.
- Helping the workforce reduce stress and improve overall wellness is essential, as wellbeing is no longer a perk; it’s a must-have.
- The majority of employers are falling short, meaning that the majority of employees are ready to move to another organisation that provides what they’re looking for.
- When companies enact these programs, virtually all leaders who track return on investment say they find a positive ROI, and more than half said they get returns of more than 100%.
- Holistic wellness is key, as the more organizations do to provide a wide variety of resources to help team members improve, the more likely employees are to see substantial improvement, fuel productivity, and know they are adequately compensated.
