The “Nation’s Wellbeing Report 2025” offers an in-depth analysis of workplace trends across Australia and New Zealand, focusing on employee wellbeing, job satisfaction, and organisational support.
We surveyed over 70,000 participants
Based on The Life Styles Inventory™ (LSI) data collected from over 70,000 leaders and non-managers, it reveals key challenges faced by different organisational levels.
- CEOs reported limited organisational support, with only 51% feeling satisfied with their health and mental state.
- Middle and senior leaders experienced declining satisfaction in peer relationships, highlighting competitive dynamics at higher levels.
- Frontline leaders reported the lowest satisfaction with stress management and career prospects, indicating a lack of support and training in leadership fundamentals.
Report Insights
The report is based on five years worth of LSI data and identifies key trends related to gender and wellbeing. While men and women report similar satisfaction levels, females consistently rate their ability to manage stress lower. Gender imbalance persists at senior levels, pointing to barriers to advancement for women. Regarding overall wellbeing, Australians and New Zealanders score high on family life satisfaction but lower on leisure and health, underscoring the need for better work-life balance and personal time management.
Industry-specific findings showcase significant variations in satisfaction levels. Employees in industries like mental health, law, and research report lower satisfaction compared to those in fields such as health clubs, franchises, and pharmaceuticals. The report emphasises the need for tailored strategies, including leadership development, stress management tools, and a renewed focus on learning and development, to enhance workplace satisfaction and productivity.
