Wellbeing in the Workplace study

Global employers share insights and trends shaping workplace wellbeing today.

Small shifts in strategy are boosting wellbeing

Our 8th annual Wellbeing in the Workplace survey explores current wellbeing strategies and practices from 430+ health benefits and wellbeing decision-makers at large companies around the world.

These employers highlighted several relatively small yet strategic adjustments in corporate health and wellbeing approaches that are yielding significant improvements in health culture and employee wellbeing. The shifts include:

  • Moving from one-dimensional wellbeing approaches to a holistic whole person health model
  • Prioritizing employee engagement and participation over programme expansion
  • Replacing one-size-fits-all programming with personalized solutions that meet individual needs.
