Some may dismiss work wellbeing as a soft metric, but Indeed’s Global Work Wellbeing Report shows it’s a critical driver of business success. Our findings reveal that prioritizing the wellbeing of your workforce doesn’t just boost morale — it delivers measurable benefits to your organization’s bottom line and overall performance.
Indeed’s massive dataset of work wellbeing data (the world’s largest study of work wellbeing) informs the report,1 offering insights across 10 markets: Australia, Canada, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, India, Japan, Brazil, the Netherlands and the United States. For example, which of these markets has the highest levels of happiness and which has the lowest? The answer may surprise you.
“With over 250M data points on wellbeing from more than 25M survey participants, we’ve learned that despite our efforts, the state of work wellbeing has not rebounded to pre-pandemic levels,” writes LaFawn Davis, Indeed’s Chief People and Sustainability Officer, in the foreword for this year’s report. “In fact, over the past four years, we have observed a concerning decline. This trend underscores an urgent need to redouble our efforts in fostering workplaces where employees can thrive. But what will it take to restore a sense of wellbeing?”
To produce the report, Indeed analyzed Indeed Work Wellbeing Survey data from October 2019 to January 2024 in partnership with the University of Oxford Wellbeing Research Centre and with support and guidance from Dr. Jan-Emmanuel De Neve and Dr. George Ward.
