Employee Well-being
What is employee well-being and why is it important?
Employee well-being means looking beyond people’s physical health and the type of work they do. Employee well-being is important because when employees consistently have positive experiences across the five areas that contribute to a high level of well-being, they can flourish inside and outside of work.
According to a Great Place To Work® and Johns Hopkins University survey of over 14,000 people from 37 countries, employee well-being affects employee retention and employee referrals.
