| Summary | Focuses on Gallup’s five types of well-being. According to Gallup’s research, the five types of well-being can have an effect on an organization’s productivity and profit. The five types of well-being are: (1) social well-being, (2) career well-being, (3) physical well-being, (4) financial well-being, and (5) community well-being. According to Gallup’s research, employees with higher overall well-being have significant cost savings over those with lower overall well-being. Those with a higher well-being cost on average $840 per person per year, whereas those with a lower well-being cost on average $28,800 per person per year. Hence, according to Gallup, organizations can benefit financially from focusing more on the five types of well-being. |
