Seven in 10 young people would stay at a workplace that tracks and measures their wellbeing, according to a report from YuLife.
The report, based on findings from a YouGov survey of 2,080 adults and 714 HR professionals by HR Ninjas, found 59% of employees were more likely to stay at an organisation that tracks and measures employee wellbeing.
But the report also found that while this number dropped to 45% among over 55s, it hit 71% among 18 to 24 year olds.
The research also drew a link between employee appetite to provide feedback and whether they thought it would make any difference to senior leadership.
More than 52% of employees believed it was unlikely that their feedback would be taken into consideration by leadership teams, but 72% of workers said they would be more willing to provide feedback if they knew exactly how it would inform decision making.
More than two thirds (67%) of employees would be more honest in feedback if they were made aware of how senior leadership would use the information.
This was compounded by the fact that more than a third (34%) of employees claimed their organisation did not collect or rarely collected data on employee wellbeing or did not measure it at all.
Personalised experiences
Sammy Rubin, CEO and founder of YuLife, said: “Today, more than ever, it is crucial for employers to meaningfully look after their people. Employers are now able to harness data and technology to drive scalable, purposeful changes to the wellbeing of their employees and organisation.
“This survey demonstrates the need for employers to embrace a culture of improvement and make a lasting impact with a data-driven wellness programme.
“Employees are looking for personalised experiences and by continuously monitoring the impact of employee wellbeing, employers can ensure benefits offered are aligned with what the workforce wants.
“With this in mind, organisations can continue building and strengthening their employee value propositions, as well as adapting to changing wants and needs.”
