Research has shown that employee well-being has an effect on important outcomes such as motivation, job performance, leadership capacity and job satisfaction. While 2021 – 2030 has been regarded as a culture decade , where organisations focus on building high growth and performance cultures, employee well-being is now at the forefront for many organisations as a building block to this kind of culture.  These efforts are happening in turbulent times where there is increased technological changes, market turbulence, fast paced change and related economic trends, all impacting employee wellbeing.
