Helping Elevate Workplace Wellbeing - The Employee Wellness Survey by Great Place To Work® Sri Lanka

Employee wellbeing has emerged as a defining factor of organizational success in today’s evolving workplace.

As rising stress levels and health challenges increasingly impact the workforce, structured and data-driven wellbeing initiatives are no longer optional, they are a strategic imperative for sustainable performance, growth, and resilience.

Recognizing this shift, Great Place To Work® Sri Lanka partners with organizations to build healthier workplaces, providing national benchmarks and insights that support Sri Lankan organizations on their journey to becoming truly great and healthy places to work.

By placing employee wellbeing at the core of workplace culture, organizations can strengthen trust, enhance engagement, and unlock long-term value.

At the center of this effort is the Wellness and Wellbeing Index™ Employee Wellness Survey, established by Great Place To Work® India and adapted for local relevance.

The survey enables organizations to assess employee perceptions across the key drivers of overall wellbeing, helping leaders shape workplace cultures that actively support wellbeing rather than unintentionally erode it.

Organizations can engage with the survey in multiple ways. For those already participating in the Trust Index™ Employee Experience Survey, wellbeing related statements can be seamlessly embedded into the existing assessment, allowing leaders to view wellbeing alongside trust, leadership, and organizational culture.

For organizations seeking a deeper and more targeted approach, fully customized Workplace Wellbeing Surveys are available, tailored to industry context, workforce demographics, and strategic priorities.

This ensures insights are not merely diagnostic, but practical and actionable.

The Workplace Wellness Index™ captures employee wellbeing by combining employee voice with management practices across six critical dimensions: responsible leadership, supportive managers, sense of community, autonomy and fulfillment, health & balance, and enabling work environment.

Together, these dimensions provide a comprehensive view of how effectively an organization supports its people and creates an environment of overall psychological safety.

Further reinforcing its commitment to advancing workplace wellbeing, Great Place To Work® Sri Lanka conducted a comprehensive employee wellbeing study over 2 consecutive years from 2023–2025.

Compared to the study conducted in the previous year, shortly after the post‑pandemic and post‑economic crisis period,the perception of wellness within the organization has declined, with positive sentiment dropping from 84% to 79%.

This indicates that organizations are still grappling with managing employee wellbeing in their workplaces.

Great Place To Work Sri Lanka is looking forward to conducting another study in 2026 and utilizing results to recognize organizations through the Wellness Champions Award, celebrating exemplary commitment to fostering healthy, high-performing workplace cultures.

“Employee wellness is not just a metric—it is the heartbeat of a thriving workplace,” emphasized Kshanika Ratnayaka, Director and CEO of Great Place To Work Sri Lanka.

“Measuring it through surveys gives us the truth of how our people are really doing, but the true test of leadership is what we choose to do with that truth.

Acting on these insights is how we show our employees that their voices matter, their well-being is valued, and their humanity is at the center of our success.”
