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.
Further, 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 research also sheds light on factors contributing to negative stress for employees. The top causes of stress identified are workload (66%), work/life balance (53%), and financial stress (44%). These stressors highlight the critical areas where HR professionals can focus their efforts to alleviate employee stress and enhance overall well-being.
The study shows that a majority of organizations are actively working to increase various types of well-being through specific initiatives: physical well-being (87%), mental/emotional well-being (75%), work environment well-being (61%), social well-being (58%), and financial (57%). 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.
"The results from this study underscore the fact that well-being initiatives aren't as effective as they should be right now," stated Debbie McGrath, Chief Instigator and CEO of HR.com. "There's a clear need for more effective and cohesive strategies."
