Empowering managers. Promoting accountability. Focusing on human outcomes. The Deloitte Well-being at Work survey sheds light on what leaders can do to make progress.

As organizations look ahead to the remainder of 2023 and beyond, one thing is certain: Workforce well-being will remain firmly on the agenda of the C-suite—and for good reason. Deloitte’s second Well-Being at Work Survey uncovered that many employees are still struggling with unacceptably low levels of well-being. What’s more, most reported that their health worsened or stayed the same last year.

With a renewed focus on improving workforce well-being, why haven’t organizations made more progress? And where should leaders devote their efforts to finally move the needle on this important issue? To investigate these questions, Deloitte collaborated with the independent research firm Workplace Intelligence to survey 3,150 C-suite executives, managers, and employees across four countries—the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.
