A key aim of our work is to bridge the gap between the academic world and the business world. 🤝 And we hope that, by providing this summary, even the busiest of business leaders will be able to use our recommendations to implement a comprehensive wellbeing strategy that can actually improve the wellbeing of their employees. 📈 Whether you're a small startup or a large corporation, you can now download the playbook free-of-charge from our website 👉 https://lnkd.in/etVXj76H Wellbeing Research Centre, Indeed

“…really what I am most keen to see as a result of these publications [the World Happiness Report] is that every issue is discussed at every level - be it government, at work, thinking about people’s private lives - everything should be discussed in terms of its impact on people’s happiness.” Prof Lord Richard Layard, co-founder of the World Wellbeing Movement, appeared on Times Radio this morning to mark the publication of the World Happiness Report: https://lnkd.in/gM2g3DP Richard spoke about the opportunity to learn from the “egalitarian attitude” of Nordic nations and the need to shift our view of societal success to one which emphasises the contribution we can all make to the wellbeing of others. He also highlighted a positive move from the UK Government which, through the current spending review, is asking each department to consider what impact its policies will have on wellbeing.

📉 The decline in child and adolescent #wellbeing across the globe is very concerning. In 2024’s World Happiness Report, America fell out of the top 20 happiest countries in the world rankings for the first time, largely due to the significant decline in wellbeing scores among its young people. Concerns around our students and young people can cause extra stress for teachers who are already overworked. It’s vital that we support the wellbeing of our teachers, not just to protect their own wellbeing, but also for the positive impact it can have on student wellbeing and academic outcomes.
