A new report, authored jointly by Aon Hewitt, the Futures Company, and the National Business Group on Health, supports an emerging thesis that stress poses the greatest risk to employee well-being.

The study divided the concept of “well-being” into four categories: physical, emotional/mental, financial, and social.

In a survey of 2,320 adults, the most common priority for mental well-being was stress reduction, cited by two-thirds of workers. Similarly, the top priority for physical well-being was getting enough sleep, cited by 70 percent of employees.
