Inside the Report
Poor Workplace Wellbeing Can Go Unnoticed
While most employees report positive mental health, up to
half—especially junior staff—grapple with exhaustion,
negativity, or anxiety. This report unveils the factors that explain this gap and why employers need to look beyond surface-level assessments.
Organisational Health Starts From Within
External mental health benefits can provide valuable support, but
they must be built on a strong foundation of leadership, policies,
and workplace culture.
The Costs of Overlooking Workplace Wellbeing
Workplace wellbeing isn’t just an employee perk—it’s a key factor
in talent attraction. 1 in 5 job seekers won’t consider offers
without mental health benefits, and in their absence, they expect
salaries to be at least 20% higher.
