Employees in the Middle East are feeling meh. In fall 2022, McKinsey Health Institute surveyed over four thousand employees from four Gulf countries—the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait—on how they’re doing at work. The results were worrying: a majority of respondents reported experiencing both physical and mental health challenges. What’s more, symptoms of depression, anxiety, and distress were significantly higher in the Gulf than the global average. In a new report from the McKinsey Health Institute, partners Mona Hammami and Mischa Zielke and associate partners Ahmed Osman and Vanessa Schneider explore the implications of these results—and chart paths forward for Gulf governments looking to foster healthier, flourishing societies. Check it out to see what steps employers can take to invest in the health and well-being of their workforce.
