Work has a profound impact on our holistic health, encompassing physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being. Healthier workforces perform better, yet many employees still experience symptoms of burnout—making them more likely to leave their jobs.
With 3.5 billion people employed globally, the opportunity is vast. In a world where AI is reshaping work, employers can unlock sustainable peak performance by prioritizing the holistic health and well-being of their people—not as a one-off initiative, but as a core driver of business success.
The McKinsey Health Institute believes healthy employees are the foundation of thriving workplaces, societies, and economies. We work with a global ecosystem to provide data, insights, and tools that help employers become a positive force for employee health and well-being. Our goal is to drive change at scale—translating evidence into action and creating impact that benefits employees, businesses, and the communities around them.
