Wellbeing & Thriving - a key pillar to people strategy

In an ever accelerating, volatile working environment, forward-thinking organizations recognize that employee wellbeing isn’t just a perk—it’s a strategic imperative. The C-suite understands the responsibility of supporting mental health and overall wellbeing, and Chief People Officers play a vital role in executing these strategies to create environments where great talent thrives.

The Cost of Attrition & The Importance of Retention

Talent retention is more than just a goal—it’s a necessity. Losing valued employees and the subsequent need to hire and train new people is costly, not just in terms of recruitment but also in lost productivity. Employees who feel supported in their wellbeing stay longer, contribute more effectively, and create a culture of engagement and excellence.

Evidence-Based Wellbeing Programs That Make a Difference

Businesses can take a proactive, research-driven approach to wellbeing. Rooted in Gallup’s Wellbeing at Work framework, the Cult of Monday team has created Youx. This program focuses on five core components:

• Career Wellbeing – You like what you do every day.

• Social Wellbeing – You have meaningful friendships in your life.

• Physical Wellbeing – You manage your money well.

• Financial Wellbeing – You have energy to get things done.

• Community Wellbeing – You like where you live.

Partnering with domain experts in each area, this program is tailored so that you can start where you are. Organizations enable employees to be their best selves—both personally and professionally when they invest in programs like these.
