Workplace well-being linked to productivity and employee retention

Research highlights a significant gap between corporate intentions and concrete actions regarding employee well-being. While many leaders acknowledge its importance, implementation remains inconsistent. Data indicates that happy employees are up to 13% more productive, and companies investing seriously in well-being see an average profitability increase of 11%.

Mental health has become a primary concern, with 80% of employees prioritizing it at work and 35% having considered leaving their positions to protect their mental health. Some workers are even willing to accept lower salaries in exchange for better work-life balance.

In Luxembourg, well-being metrics vary between residents and cross-border workers. While 69% of cross-border workers report feeling well at work, only 50% of residents feel the same. Nutrition is a key factor, with 65% of active employees stating that access to healthy food options or meal vouchers contributes to their professional well-being. Common tools used to foster this environment include teleworking, team building, and meal vouchers.
