New survey shows disconnect between C-suite, employee perceptions of well-being

Editor's Note

A new survey released June 21 by Deloitte and Workplace Intelligence finds that up to 60% of employees are considering switching to new jobs because stress at work is hurting their mental (58%), physical (63%), social (45%), or financial (35%) well-being.

The survey also finds that three in four employees say their health has declined over the past year, even as 75% of C-suite executives say they believe it has improved.

About 84% of executives say their companies have made well-being commitments, but only 39% of employees agree.

Nearly 90% of top leaders say they are doing a good job of advancing human sustainability (ie, supporting employees, the world, the environment, local communities, and purpose over profit), while just 41% of employees agree.

The survey included 3,150 C-suite executives, managers, and employees in four countries—the US, UK, Canada, and Australia.
