A new European study by Urban Sports Club reveals major gaps in the well-being strategies of Portuguese companies – with a direct impact on employee motivation, retention, and mental health.
What do Portuguese collaborators say?
- 47% say they do not have access to mental well-being initiatives
- 51% have no support for spiritual well-being
- 37% do not benefit from professional development initiatives
- 49% say financial security (such as fair pay or job security) would have the biggest impact on their well-being
Furthermore, the Portuguese expect the most from their companies : 53% believe that companies should play a greater role in promoting well-being – almost double the European average.
It is necessary for companies in Portugal to look at well-being holistically, understanding how the different dimensions – from mental health to financial stability – complement each other to create healthier and more sustainable teams.

Based on 5.000 responses collected in five countries: Portugal, Spain, France, the Netherlands and Germany, the study paints a comprehensive picture of well-being at work, not only from a physical and mental perspective, but also social, spiritual, professional and financial.
More than just a statistical survey, the Wellbeing Compass positions itself as a starting point for informed and ongoing reflection on how to create more balanced, humane, and effective work environments – an essential compass for business leaders and human resources teams who want to align themselves with the true expectations of today's talent.
