What is the state of employee wellbeing?
Organisations have adapted to new business challenges and working practices since COVID-19 restrictions eased. But how well are their employees coping and managing stress in this new world of work?
In our new report, we’ve surveyed over 2000 employed respondents
and 900+ HR leaders to discover common trends and challenges resulting from the pandemic and how it impacts employee wellbeing
and business results.
We’ve then outlined best practices for ensuring employee wellbeing, including supporting marginalised groups and the leadership and culture needed to keep people feeling happy, healthy, and better resourced to drive results.

Just one in five employees feels a strong sense of wellbeing
The pandemic has emphasised the need to prioritise employees’ physical and mental health. Yet our research shows just one in five employees feels a strong sense of wellbeing and COVID-19 is a key driver of stress. But there are steps that can be taken to improve employee wellbeing in 2022.
How can you support wellbeing at work?
Employee wellbeing shouldn’t be tackled as a standalone project or considered an afterthought. To effectively mitigate the risks, there needs to be a holistic approach that accounts for individual needs and preferences. That means having the right leadership, culture, and HR systems in place to support wellbeing.
