In the SCP GROWTH Index™, our proprietary framework for diagnosing organizational health, W stands for Wellbeing: the psychological safety, personal wellness, and workplace culture of care that allows individuals to thrive.
This dimension goes far beyond the absence of burnout. The mindset for adopting wellbeing begins with recognizing that employees aren’t just a number; they are individuals with different needs. It reflects whether individual employees feel valued, supported, and connected to their work, and whether the organization is designed to sustain and support their experience.
Organizations that prioritize the wellbeing of their employees understand that investing in their people is essential for keeping up with the demands and interests of today’s employees. It also encompasses the organization’s commitment to individual health, providing resources and opportunities for employees to invest in their own wellbeing, personal growth, and self-care. By encouraging staff to prioritize their physical and mental health, pursue learning, and engage in self-development activities, organizations create an environment where people not only excel professionally but also thrive personally.
Personalized wellness support—such as online platforms like our new SCP Wellness Studio appand in-person wellness events—creates spaces and tools for employees to decompress from their daily stresses, improve health outcomes, and reduce burnout. Our SCP Wellness Studio app focuses on teaching tools that can be useful for employees and individuals to build their sense of wellbeing, as well as guidance through practices in an on-demand format.
In our 31 years of organizational development work, we’ve learned that wellbeing is not a soft metric; it’s a strategic imperative. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) reports that effective wellness programs can lead to a 30% reduction in mental health issues, which correlates with improved workplace performance. A survey by Limeade found that 70% of employees who said their company offers effective wellness programs also reported higher job satisfaction levels and a sense of belonging. These statistics highlight the importance of investing in employee wellbeing to enhance overall productivity, improve work culture, and reduce operational costs.
Our experience confirms that when wellbeing is strong, organizations benefit from higher engagement, lower turnover, and deeper cultural alignment. When it’s weak, even mission-driven teams can struggle with disengagement, fragmentation, and costly attrition.
One SCP client, a statewide youth development nonprofit, came to us with rising turnover and declining morale. Staff surveys revealed high stress, unclear expectations, and a lack of psychological safety. Through our SCP organizational assessment, we identified critical gaps in the Wellbeing dimension. SCP facilitated a series of listening sessions, redesigned internal communications, and helped leadership model emotionally intelligent behaviors. Within six months, staff retention improved by 22%, and the organization saw a measurable increase in cross-team collaboration and innovation.
In another case, a rural health coalition was experiencing burnout across its frontline teams. While their mission was clear, employees felt disconnected from leadership and overwhelmed by reactive workflows. SCP’s assessment revealed low scores in both wellbeing and operations. We worked with the coalition to implement flexible work arrangements, embed mental health supports, and create space for staff-led feedback loops. The result? A 30% drop in turnover and a renewed sense of purpose across the organization.
Wellbeing is deeply interconnected with other GROWTH dimensions. When leadership practices are inclusive and transparent (H = Healthy Culture), employees feel safe. When systems are responsive and clear (O = Operations), frustration decreases. When individuals see a path for growth (T = Talent Development), motivation rises. That’s why the SCP GROWTH Index™ doesn’t isolate wellbeing, it integrates it.
Today’s workforce, especially Gen Z and Gen Alpha, expects organizations to prioritize mental health, work-life balance, and belonging. They seek environments where they can grow, be heard, and feel safe. Organizations that meet these expectations retain, unlock, and nurture talent.
Our teams help organizations move from intention to action. Whether it’s designing wellbeing dashboards, training emotionally intelligent leaders, or aligning strategy with culture, we ensure that wellbeing becomes a lived experience, not just a line in a strategic plan.
