Transform Your Workplace Performance
Thriving teams. Stronger ROI. Less burnout.
The Employer Problem
McKinsey's recent report — Thriving Workplaces: How Employers Can Improve Productivity and Change Lives — spells it out: disengagement, burnout, and presenteeism are draining trillions in productivity every year.
- $8.8 trillion lost globally to disengagement (Gallup)
- 1.5–2× salary costs to replace a single employee
- Presenteeism > absenteeism: employees showing up, but running at half power
- Workshops don't stick: employees forget most of a half-day seminar when the 3AM spiral hits
- Therapy isn't scalable: many employees don't want or need it — and stigma keeps usage low
Executives agree on the problem. What's missing is a scalable, practical solution.
The Opportunity
McKinsey's framework for thriving workplaces is clear:
Treat health as a strategic asset
Not a perk or a checkbox — a core business imperative that drives performance.
Invest across all dimensions
Mental, physical, social, and recovery — comprehensive support creates compound benefits.
Use tailored, evidence-based interventions
One-size-fits-all doesn't work. Target specific challenges with proven solutions.
Measure ROI in productivity and retention
Track real business metrics, not just health claims or participation rates.
Embed skills into culture
Make wellbeing practices part of daily work, not separate wellness events.
Enterprises that follow this approach see 2–11× returns on well-being investments. The value is real — but only if it moves beyond posters, perks, and workshops.
