Amplifying Wellbeing at Work and Beyond
In workplaces globally, one of the most effective and affordable wellbeing strategies is woefully untapped: employee recognition.
This Workhuman/Gallup report outlines how recognition does more than fuel employee wellbeing: It promotes a more positive outlook and mitigates burnout. It can also spark cultural transformation and help workplaces achieve exceptional performance while improving employees’ lives overall. And it’s one of the simplest tactics at leaders’ fingertips.
Fulfilling employee recognition is associated with better employee wellbeing across four key dimensions:
Increased overall life evaluations:
- Employees are as much as two times as likely to evaluate their lives and futures positively.
- Reduced levels of burnout: Employees are up to 90% less likely to report being burned out at work “always” or “very often”.
- Improved daily emotions: Employees are up to two times as likely to report having experienced a lot of gratitude the previous day and about 40% less likely to report having experienced a lot of stress, worry and sadness.
- Better social wellbeing: Employees are seven times as likely to strongly agree that they have meaningful connections or a best friend at work, and as much as 10 times as likely to strongly agree that they belong.
This large-scale study of more than 12,000 employees across 12 countries demonstrates that fulfilling employee recognition is associated with better employee wellbeing.
