This country ranks last globally in employees’ well-being survey: Report

Based on a survey that evaluated employees’ physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being, Japan ranked lowest globally. The survey was carried out by the McKinsey Health Institute.

In a survey of over 30,000 workers in 30 countries, the island nation received a score of 25%, according to the report that was made public on Thursday. Turkey had the highest percentage at 78%, followed by India at 76% and China at 75%. The average worldwide was 57%.

Even though Japanese companies are known for providing lifetime employment and job security, this also means that it can be difficult for workers to switch jobs if they’re not happy. According to Rochelle Kopp, a consultant for businesses on cross-cultural communications and business practises, Japan has consistently received low ratings in international surveys, and the results reflect this.

“There’s this documented tendency to rate yourself low,” said Kopp, who is also a board member of MS&AD Insurance Group Holdings Inc. “There are significant issues in Japan with lack of satisfaction in the workplace, with significant levels of stress.”

She also mentioned that a growing proportion of Japanese workers are employed under short-term contracts, which increases uncertainty.

Positive work experiences have been linked to improved holistic health, increased innovation at work, and higher job performance, according to a McKinsey survey.

The majority of an adult’s waking hours are spent at work, according to the report’s authors. “That offers employers an opportunity to influence their employees’ physical, mental, social, and spiritual health.”
