The well-being of employees is more critical to attracting and retaining talent than ever before. What are your next moves looking into 2025?
Wellhub released its ‘The State of Work-Life Wellness 2025’ report, which provides thousands of answers worldwide about work-related wellness from different contingents.
The main takeaway from the report is that employees are increasingly looking into wellness benefits when choosing an employer; 88% of employees value their well-being at work just as much as their salary and 89% of employees changing jobs will only consider companies that emphasise employee well-being. Imagine that 9 out of 10 people would turn down your company if it didn’t offer well-being programme for health.
On the coinflip, 83% of employees would consider leaving a company that does not focus on employee well-being. We think it’s better to be on board than not.
Don’t want to lose talent? Don’t cut the wellness budget.
Welcome to the new era of recruitment, where well-being isn’t just a fancy perk — it’s the foundation of your entire strategy.
Employees with a well-being programme have higher engagement and overall wellness scores. With programmes, every satisfaction score rises at least 10% but more like 20%. This includes sleep, fitness, nutrition etc.
If you think the wellness budget is just a benefit in the line of many, 79% of employees would use it when they had it. Four out of five employees aspire to be healthier—let them be!
Are your employees mostly Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials or even Gen Z?
The survey reveals that every generation has more emphasis on well-being. The younger the employee, the more they think about wellness benefits. Soon, there will be another generational switch in the workforce that we all must consider.
Plan your wellness programme, take care of everyone’s needs, and ask your employees what they need for their wellness—that’s how we create workplaces full of wellness. Keep an eye on our blog for more facts and recommendations.
