Dubai: Leading health and benefits consultancy Mercer Marsh Benefits, a business of Marsh McLennan, today released its 2023 Health on Demand Report , which reveals that employee stress is a critical issue for talent attraction and retention. According to the report, more than three quarters (78%) of UAE employees felt their employer cares about their health and well-being, underscoring the importance of addressing employee stress and burnout in a comprehensive benefits strategy. The 2023 Health on Demand report surveyed over 17,500 employees in 16 markets across the globe, including over 1,000 employees from the UAE, about their priorities when it comes to health and well-being, highlighting the voice of the employee so employers can better address their needs. According to the report, 63% of employees in the UAE believe that the quality of health and well-being benefits they receive from their employer instils greater loyalty and makes them less likely to seek employment elsewhere. The report also reveals that 53% of UAE employees are committed to adopting more environmentally friendly lifestyles, which employers can support by implementing environmentally conscious policies and practices that benefit both the workforce and wider society.
