The study also highlights that more than 80% of organizations face various mental-health-related issues among their employees, with stress and anxiety being the most prevalent, affecting 88% and 81% of organizations, respectively.
The top causes of stress identified in the study are workload (66%), work/life balance (53%), and financial stress (44%). These findings pinpoint critical areas where HR professionals should focus their efforts to mitigate employee stress and improve overall well-being.
According to the study, the majority of organizations are actively working to enhance various aspects of well-being through specific initiatives. These initiatives focus on physical well-being (87%), mental/emotional well-being (75%), work environment well-being (61%), social well-being (58%), and financial well-being (57%).
