lululemon advances commitment to advocate wellbeing via new report

 KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 2 -- Healthy lifestyle inspired athletic apparel company, lululemon athletica inc has released its first-ever Global Wellbeing Report, advancing the Company’s commitment to advocate for wellbeing — enabling holistic wellbeing through movement, mindfulness, and connection.

The 10-country study benchmarks the state of wellbeing with the inaugural Global Wellbeing Index issued by lululemon, and explores the dimensions, drivers, and barriers to being well.

“At lululemon, we believe in a holistic approach to wellbeing that helps create a healthier future for all. This research accelerates our efforts to support the wellbeing of the guests, employees and the communities we serve,” said Chief Executive Officer, Calvin McDonald.

The report reveals an urgency to improve with only 29 per cent of global respondents indicating strong wellbeing across physical, mental, and social dimensions - punctuating the impact of the pandemic and social, political, and environmental issues.

According to a statement, optimism for the future shows a sharp decline, and Gen Z emerges as the most vulnerable generation with the lowest wellbeing.

However, all age groups and geographies surveyed showed barriers to wellbeing — and challenges with time, stress and access to resources expose a need for employers to better support workforce wellbeing.

The Global Wellbeing Index currently sits at 65 on a scale of 100, indicating a moderate level of wellbeing on a spectrum of weak to strong. It is based on how people in countries worldwide rate the way they feel across the physical, mental, and social dimensions of wellbeing.

People coping very well during these unprecedented times are focused on simple activities to support their wellbeing. The actions creating the greatest impact among those coping very well include getting enough sleep, eating healthy food, connecting with people they care about, being physically active, and spending time outdoors.
