Global workplace wellbeing and productivity trends

Overview

Discussions regarding workplace wellbeing have focused on its significant economic potential and its complex relationship with employee retention. An International Labour Organization (ILO) report, ‘Care to Compete’, suggests that improving employee health and flexibility could generate up to US$ 11.7 trillion in global economic value by enhancing productivity and engagement.

Subsequent research has examined specific demographics and the limitations of engagement. While studies on female entrepreneurs show a high priority for work-life balance, research into workers aged 25 to 35 indicates that high engagement does not ensure long-term retention. Despite feeling a sense of purpose, many younger workers expressed intentions to change jobs within a year, citing insufficient salary and benefits as primary drivers.
