Addressing Workforce Well-being: A Critical Challenge in the Middle East
In today’s corporate landscape, the well-being of employees is paramount, recognized as a cornerstone of organizational success. The global workforce faces escalating challenges, from chronic illnesses to mental health concerns. It is placing a significant strain on both employers and the economy at large. According to recent studies, workforce un-wellness could be costing the global economy up to 15 percent of its annual output.
The Middle East is not exempt from these challenges. A survey conducted by the McKinsey Health Institutes in 2022, encompassing four thousand employees across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, revealed alarming rates of poor mental health and well-being among two-thirds of respondents. Anxiety, depression, and distress symptoms were prevalent, mirroring a global trend.
