Workplace wellbeing: The awareness gap has closed. The execution gap persists

Research from i4cp's 2026 Holistic WellBeing Pulse Survey reveals that while most organizations have increased or maintained wellbeing budgets, a significant execution gap persists—only 36% of HR leaders rate their organizations as effective at supporting mental and emotional wellbeing, and 42% do not measure the business impact of their wellbeing initiatives. The findings point to accountability structures and outcome-linked measurement as the critical next steps for organizations looking to move wellbeing from a program collection to a managed business priority.
