The lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, economic and political uncertainty, increasing workplace changes, and new complexities are just some of the factors affecting workforce mental health and well-being. This poses a risk to mission readiness as well-being drives individual and organizational performance. In fact, recent Gallup Well-Being Research suggests that well-being is the most important factor for career performance over time and can predict future organizational performance.
Government agencies are searching for effective strategies to enhance employee resilience, well-being, and engagement to reach their goals in a post-pandemic world. Agency leaders recognize the need to support their employees' well-being while maintaining productivity and service quality. Challenges include finding solutions that are personalized, scalable, measurable, sustainable, and able to fit in the flow of work.
