In today’s always-on work culture, where hybrid schedules blur the boundaries between home and office , employee burnout has become more common than not.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified burnout as an occupational phenomenon, and American businesses are paying the price.
Poor employee health costs U.S. employers an estimated $225.8 billion annually in lost productivity. The case for prioritizing employee well-being has never been stronger.
Gallup reports that employees with high well-being are 23% more likely to say they perform better at work. And for every $1 invested in mental health treatment, there’s a $4 return in improved productivity, according to the WHO.
Lifesum research highlights that Gen Z and millennials place a high value on workplace well-being and are willing to prioritize it over other factors.
A significant percentage (48%) would quit their job for one that better supports their well-being, and 71% believe they would be more productive if their employer improved their health and wellness. The research also emphasizes the growing importance of functional nutrition and its impact on workplace outcomes.
As expectations around workplace wellness rise, particularly among younger generations like Gen Z, who consider mental health support a core employer responsibility, employers are looking for new ways to keep pace. That’s where artificial intelligence (AI) is stepping in.
AI is transforming the wellness landscape by making health support more proactive, personalized and scalable.
