Well-Being at Work: Creating a Workplace Where Everyone Can Thrive

After waves of disruption, new workplace laws, and shifting employee expectations, one question remains: can Australian workplaces evolve from managing stress to building genuine well-being?

The Well-being at Work Report 2025, developed by Johns Hopkins University and Great Place To Work® Australia, explores the reality behind the headlines, revealing how different generations, industries, and leaders are shaping the future of workplace well-being.

Drawing on data from more than 80,000 employees across 500 organisations, this landmark study uncovers what’s driving resilience, connection, and trust, and where the cracks are starting to show.

Inside the Report
