New Research Reveals Effectiveness of Employee Well-Being Programs

HR.com’s HR Research Institute has released new research findings revealing that almost one-third (30%) of HR professionals believe their employee well-being programs are effective. While many organizations are striving to enhance well-being, the research indicates there is still significant room for growth. More than 8 in 10 organizations grapple with a variety of mental-health-related issues, the most common being stress (88%) and anxiety (81%). The study shows that a majority of organizations are actively working to increase various types of well-being through specific initiatives. Despite these efforts, just 27% say their initiatives are well-integrated. Further analysis highlights the finding that organizations that have been more successful in implementing well-being programs are nearly nine times more likely to report having a holistic approach to well-being.
