Johns Hopkins researchers share new insights related to employee well-being in U.S. organizations. The study highlights the decline in the climate of workplace well-being since the COVID-19 pandemic through a comprehensive analysis of more than 4.5 million survey respondents each year. The "Climate of Well-being" report outlines organizational factors that may affect employee well-being in the workplace. The research shows that successful organizations create a climate of well-being not by providing perks or benefits, but rather they create a culture where people feel acknowledged, supported, and connected. The new insights highlight the impact of flexible work arrangements, stress levels, industry practices, and persistent disparities among groups of people in the workplace.
