Health And WellBeing At Work 2022 – CIPD

The CIPD’s Health and Wellbeing At Work 2022 report studies the health and wellbeing process that organisations have implemented to support their employee. Data from this report was gathered from more than 800 organisations in the UK.

Some main findings from this report include:

Nearly 10% of surveyed organisations reported that they have lost more than a quarter of working time due to Covid. Despite this, only half of them have improved their wellbeing support or benefits to manage the Covid impacts. Less than half of the organisations, whose employees are affected by long Covid, are implementing procedures to better support employees, mainly through occupational health assessments and flexible working.
More than 70% of organisations are offering improved support for working from home employees and more than 40% of them are advising their staff to use digital technologies more responsibly.
More customised support for employees’ needs; more emphasis on mental health and better support for remote staff are among the most popular programs implemented in regards to Covid19 challenges
Only one-third of the surveyed organisations plan to increase their budget for wellbeing benefits after Covid19 and more than half of them still haven’t allocated any budget to this area.
Nearly half of the organisations reported having employees with long Covid.
Occupational health assessments; customised support and flexible working hours are the most common measures offered to employees with long Covid.
Most organisations claimed that employee wellbeing is on their executive leaders’ agendas for 2022. However, only half of them currently have a formal wellbeing program and the other half reported to act on an ad hoc basis.
A majority of large organisation (more than 1,000 employees) reported having formal wellbeing programs in place.
More than half of the surveyed organisations admitted that there will be no change to their wellbeing budget in the next year
