We’ve just launched our first Wellbeing Index report, a quarterly in-depth look into the state of the nation’s wellbeing, at home and in the workplace.

We surveyed 2,001 UK employees and 251 HR professionals to create a barometer of the nation’s wellbeing across key areas; financial, physical, mental and social wellbeing.

The report explores how our wellbeing impacts us at home and at work, enabling employers and employees to take collective responsibility for building a happier, healthier and more productive nation.

See a summary of the key findings in our infographic video:

• 32% of employees work beyond their contracted hours because they’re unable to complete their workload throughout the day
• 28% of working adults say stress and pressure often reaches unmanageable levels, with workload, long hours and job security being the main reasons
