A workplace culture that truly prioritizes employee well-being makes people feel cared about. It also improves their lives and benefits organizational outcomes. Trends from Gallup’s Life Evaluation Index mark a new record low since Gallup began measuring employee well-being in 2009. Just 50 percent of U.S. employees are thriving in their overall lives.
Source: Gallup, November 18, 2024. Link. When employees are thriving in life overall, they miss 53 percent fewer days of work due to health issues and are 32 percent less likely to be watching for or actively seeking new jobs.
Wellbeing isn’t just an employee expectation; it’s foundational to sustainable employee performance.”
