Wellbeingat WorkUniversum’s Wellbeing Pulse Survey examines the attitudes of over 1,800 university students and young professionals across the globe, exploring how employers can support and prioritize employee wellbeing in a post-pandemic work world.CONTENTSCONTENTSCONTENTSCONTENTSCONTENTSCONTENTSThe shadow pandemic 3Expectations for wellbeing at work 5Employee wellbeing: Expectations meet reality 8Mental health stigmas hinder asking for support at work 94 ways employers can help 113As the worst outcomes of the pandemic eased in 2021, a shadow mental health crisis emerged. In the early months of the pandemic, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control reported that symptoms of anxiety disorder increased threefold and symptoms of depressive disorder increased fourfold (from early 2019 to June 2020).1 Yet other aspects of the pandemic improved wellbeing in meaningful ways — particularly the mass movement to working from home. Research from Universum shows more than 3 in 4 (78%) say hybrid work enhances wellbeing. Universum commissioned a study to understand these trends. When it comes to emotional wellbeing, what do employees expect from employers? And what role is the right one for employers in this sensitive space?During April and May 2022, we surveyed over 1,800 university students and young professionals (35 years old and younger). Respondents represent 19 countries across APAC (Asia Pacific), EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), Latin America, and North America.The shadow pandemic1U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: “Mental Health, Substance Use, and Suicidal Ideation During the COVID-19 Pandemic — United States, June 24–30, 2020,” Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, Aug. 14, 2020. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6932a1.htm?s_cid=mm6932a1_e&deliveryName=USCDC_921-DM352224When it comes to emotional wellbeing, what do employees expect from employers, and what role is the right one for employers in this sensitive space?““45Expectations for wellbeing at work5University students and young professionals overwhelmingly expect employers to provide support for wellbeing. Among students, 94% say employee wellbeing should be a priority for employers (this high proportion is true across regions). Among young professionals, the ratio is nearly the same; 95% say it’s important to them to work for an employer that makes it a priority.Both students and young professionals say this type of support enhances productivity at work. Overall, 92% say that getting emotional and wellness support would make them more productive. And third-party research reinforces this idea. A study from the National Safety Council and NORC at the University of Chicago shows that an average 1,000-employee organization will suffer US$1.5 million in lost productivity due to employee depression (this based on an organization that pays industry average salaries) — and this is in addition to healthcare and addiction disorder costs borne by employers.252National Safety
