Employee well-being is lacking at all levels of organizations, spurring calls for more action and accountability. In response, C-suite execs say it’s time for companies to put their metrics where their mouth is.

A recent survey from Deloitte revealed that 85% of executives agree that employee feedback around wellness programs and benefits should be made public to increase transparency — but they may be in for a rude awakening. While over 75% of C-suite leaders said their workforce’s health has improved since last year, around 66% of employees said that is actually not the case. This gap in perception means less awareness of the underlying issues: 80% of respondents reported their lack of well-being is fueled by job-related stress, and has left many employees, managers and C-suite executives feeling that quitting is the only way to find relief.
