HR leaders know that well-being isn’t just a “nice to have”—it’s directly tied to retention, engagement, and organizational performance. But in 2025, the challenges are shifting.
Join WebMD Health Services’ Center for Research for an exclusive look at the latest findings from our annual Workplace and Employee Survey, capturing the perspectives of over 4,000 employees. You’ll uncover emerging trends and actionable insights at the intersection of employee experience, workforce well-being, and business performance.
From understanding which employee populations are most at risk, to tracking how perceptions of organizational care are changing, to seeing why multi-level well-being strategies outperform one-size-fits-all programs, this session will equip you with the data and direction you need to drive meaningful change.
You’ll learn:
- Which employee groups are struggling most—and how HR can effectively support them.
- How perceptions of care impact burnout, loyalty, and performance.
- Why multi-level well-being approaches are delivering stronger outcomes than single-focus initiatives.
