WHAT CONSTITUTES WELLNESS AT WORK
FOR GEN X/BOOMERS VS. MILLENNIALS?
TOP FIVE WORKPLACE DRIVERS OF WELLNESS
For Gen X/Baby Boomers: 1) Can choose my own work path/projects, 2) Onsite or subsidized
childcare, 3) Onsite recreation, 4) Nutritional counseling, 5) Opportunity to grow
For Millennials: 1) My company cares about my personal wellness, 2) Feel my work has positive
impact on people’s lives, 3) Health insurance, 4) My boss/manager cares about my personal
wellness, 5) My employer is supportive
Generally, workplace “intangibles” and emotional factors have the largest impact on employee
wellness, especially for Millennials, who want to know, above all, that their company, managers
and co-workers all care about their personal wellbeing. For this rising generation of workers,
“caring” is the very heart of workplace wellness.
