Many organizations treat employee well-being as a “nice-to-have” rather than a profit-driving strategy—and that mindset is costing them billions.

In this episode of The Talent Sherpa Podcast, host Jackson Lynch breaks down the real financial impact of well-being initiatives, backed by hard data.

  • $8.8 trillion—The global cost of disengaged employees (Gallup, 2024).
  • 21% higher profitability—Companies with engaged employees outperform their peers (Gallup, 2023).
  • 51% lower turnover—Organizations prioritizing well-being save millions in recruitment costs (WebMD Health Services, 2023).

Jackson shares five ROI-driven strategies to integrate well-being into your business model, including mental health normalization, work redesign, AI-driven burnout prevention, empathetic leadership training, and performance-based well-being metrics.

The takeaway? Well-being isn’t a perk—it’s a competitive advantage. If your organization isn’t investing in it, you’re already falling behind.
