Wellness initiatives in the workplace have struggled due to misguided perceptions and skepticism from employees. Despite nearly 85% of large U.S. employers implementing such programs, the rate of burnout and mental health issues continues to rise, indicating that these initiatives often miss the core issues. While the Global Wellness Institute and WHO define wellness in complex terms, many employees merely seek a manageable work-life balance rather than such lofty goals. There is a pressing need for companies to address systemic issues instead of viewing well-being as solely a personal responsibility.
"It's no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." - Jiddu Krishnamurti.
Wellness initiatives have suffered from misconceptions, ill-defined criteria, and employee skepticism since their inception, leading to an increase in burnout and mental health issues.
While nearly 85% of large U.S. employers offer wellness programs, the associated burnout and mental health needs continue to escalate.
The Global Wellness Institute defines wellness as an active pursuit leading to holistic health, a high bar for those simply wanting to perform their jobs.
