Poles cannot take care of their wellbeing

The pandemic increased the interest of companies in the subject of wellbeing. Programs for employee well-being, mental and physical health, healthy diet and exercise, mindfulness, sleep, and stress management have come to be seen as one of the best investments in human resources. The Deloitte survey carried out in 2020 showed that already then as much as 80 percent of organizations recognized the wellbeing of employees as one of the most important factors – or even the most important – determining the company's market success.

"In the past, wellbeing was important, but today it is becoming more and more urgent, because people have problems with mental health, closing and making the border between personal and professional life,"  Ewa Stelmasiak, founder of The Wellness Institute of Poland, pointed out.

She is the author of the first book on the culture of wellbeing in Poland.

“Wellbeing is a competence that we do not learn at school, but we need them very much in adulthood. Then we find ourselves in a situation where we face some adversities and we do not have these skills. Therefore, increasing our competencies in the field of caring for your well-being is a good direction for each of us,” she stressed.
