The Workplace Well Being Paradox

🚨 The workplace well-being paradox: Leaders think they’re doing enough. Workers don’t always agree.

There are six critical disconnects between leaders’ perceptions and employees’ realities:

1️⃣ Perception Gap – Leaders think well-being is improving; most workers say it’s not.
2️⃣ Care Gap – Workers feel peers care about them, but not leadership.
3️⃣ Modeling Gap – Leaders say they lead by example. Employees rarely see it.
4️⃣ Satisfaction Gap – Leaders believe employees love well-being benefits. Most don’t.
5️⃣ Priority Gap – Leaders say human sustainability is a priority. Workers disagree.
6️⃣ Action Gap – Employees expect progress. Leaders aren’t delivering.

🔑 The takeaway: Well-being strategies can’t just live in PowerPoint decks. They must be visible, measurable, and human-centered to close the gaps.

👉 Question for you: Which of these six disconnects do you see most clearly in your workplace?
