Global Employer Insights Survey: Health and Wellbeing
How are global employers driving employee engagement in health and wellness programmes?
Optum surveyed 347 global employers to better understand current health and wellbeing (H&W) practices. Employers told us how they’re motivating employees to engage in their own wellbeing.
6 key modalities companies use for driving employee engagement: office-based, including onsite meetings; manufacturing/production, including posters, mobile apps and webinars; warehouse, including posters and mobile apps; business travel, including digital engagement/social media platform, mobile apps and wallet cards; telecommuting, including webinars and digital engagement/social media platform; and, transportation, including mobile apps.
In 2020, 73% of global employers said they planned to use mobile apps, while 78% said so in 2021 and 84% in 2022. In APAC, 93% of global employers said they planned to use mobile apps, while 81% of EMEA employers said they planned to and 79% in LATAM.
Many global employers pay for H&W apps for their employees, with 65% paying for peer-to-peer support apps, 75% paying for coaching/mindfulness apps and 76% paying for self-care emotional wellbeing apps and health engagement apps.
