The recent study on well-being and workplace health in Spain reveals that while salary remains a key pillar, it is not the only determining factor for worker satisfaction. According to the data, only 49.7% of professionals in the country are satisfied with their compensation. Among those who are dissatisfied, half indicate that the workplace well-being conditions provided by their companies help alleviate this perception. A significant finding is that one in four employees values benefits like flexible compensation, emotional salary, and health services positively.
Differences in salary satisfaction also vary by age. Baby Boomers are the most critical group, followed by Generation X, suggesting an increase in dissatisfaction as individuals advance in their careers. This reflects a trend where workplace well-being has become a strategic priority, essential not only for attracting and retaining talent but also for preserving the emotional health of teams.
Regarding flexible compensation, despite its obvious advantages, only 43% of talent in Spain has access to these plans, which are more prevalent in larger companies. The most valued options include health insurance, meal vouchers, and mobility assistance, which directly impact workers’ health and savings. It’s interesting to note that Generation Z prefers mobility assistance, whereas Millennials especially value training.
The study also highlights the growing concern for mental health, indicating that 64% of talent feels their work affects their emotional well-being. Most attribute this feeling to high workloads, with 23.2% reporting a constant impact. The most common symptoms include work-related anxiety, chronic stress, and insomnia. Millennials are particularly affected in both emotional and physical health, underscoring the need for effective workplace health strategies.
According to Pedro Díaz Yuste, CEO of Savia, well-being programs are not just optional add-ons; they are essential for fostering healthy organizational cultures. Meanwhile, Stanislas de Bourgues, CEO of Edenred Spain, emphasizes the importance of listening to talent and offering solutions that address their expectations and the challenges of the new professional environment.
