Find out what employees are saying about work wellbeing and how the concept of Ok-nomics – the idea that employee wellbeing is directly connected to your bottom line – can’t be ignored.

The research

Run by

participants

industries

There is a strong relationship between satisfaction and motivation, effectiveness and retention.

Motivation

Effectiveness
Likely to stay at workplace

Dissatisfied in the work place

  • 29% 29%
  • 15% 15%
  • 23% 23%

Satisfied in the workplace

  • 95% 95%
  • 93% 93%
  • 80% 80%

As satisfaction increases so does motivation and effectiveness – so we can see a link between wellbeing and greater employee effectiveness.

This data speaks to the heart of Ok-nomics – staff who feel valued, rewarded, and listened to will create a culture of success. Staff who don’t will have the opposite effect.
