Analytics to Improve Well-Being
Cut down on skyrocketing healthcare costs and develop employees who perform at their best every day.
|
Most wellness programs miss the mark. Why? Physical wellness is just one of five crucial elements of well-being. Gallup and Healthways have developed a proven source of well-being measurement: the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being 5. Research shows that employees thriving in the five areas of well-being -- purpose, social, financial, community and physical -- miss 41% less work as a result of poor health and are more engaged in their jobs, improving business performance. Physical wellness alone does not provide these benefits. Gallup helps companies broaden their programs to create cultures of well-being that enrich both employees' lives and business performance. |
 Improving well-being has been shown to lower healthcare costs and increase worker productivity. Today, the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index is the most proven, mature, comprehensive measure of well-being in the world. |
Develop engaged, thriving employees who are more productive than ever before.
