Embracing Holistic Well-being to Advance Business Performance

Author: Laci Loew

Introduction

A focus on employee health is not new but is on a different and momentous journey globally and has a long way to go. Alight research published by BENEFITS PRO in September 2023 says just 51 percent of the workforce reports feeling positively about their mental, physical, and financial well-being, and only 41 percent of the workforce reports feeling that their employer cares about their well-being in 2023 - a six percent decline from 2022. As such, senior HR and business leaders are looking for the most effective ways to move from a traditional, low value focus on employee health and safety programs to a modern, holistic well-being strategy with outsized benefits that this fuller approach delivers.
