Signal McKinsey Health Institute links integrated wellbeing to 20-25% higher productivity

Summary

GWI's Workplace Wellbeing Initiative cites McKinsey Health Institute research to support its case for integrated workplace wellbeing. According to that research, companies that build wellbeing into leadership practices, performance management and organisational design report productivity gains of up to 20 to 25%. The same firms also report measurable falls in costs linked to burnout. The Initiative presents these findings as the business evidence behind a shift from standalone wellness programmes to integration across the enterprise. Regulatory and investor expectations, it argues, are accelerating the same transition. The figures come from company reports gathered by McKinsey rather than from controlled trials.
