Gallup Report Reveals Workforce Pain—Solveglobal Has a Fix
Gallup’s global workforce report highlights a critical opportunity. Solveglobal delivers a smarter path to healing and performance.
Gallup’s latest State of the Global Workplace report dropped a warning sign for employers: only 23% of employees worldwide are thriving. The rest are either struggling or suffering—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
And while stress and burnout get the headlines, many of those struggles start with something simpler: pain.
That shouldn’t surprise anyone managing a team right now. Pain, stress, and burnout are no longer isolated issues. They’re showing up in productivity, retention, morale, and healthcare costs.
The connection between pain and performance
While Gallup points to widespread disengagement (85% globally), the underlying drivers often include chronic discomfort and unresolved MSK (musculoskeletal) issues. And when employees are hurting, they disengage. They miss work. They underperform. Eventually, they leave.
Why traditional wellness efforts fall short
Typical wellness programs rarely move the needle. They’re too broad, too passive, and too optional. Most employees don’t need more reminders to drink water. They need real solutions to real physical problems that disrupt their day-to-day life—like that nagging back pain that keeps them from sleeping or focusing.
The Solveglobal approach: proactive care that actually gets used
At Solveglobal, we help companies stop waiting for claims to show up and start preventing them altogether. In just one example, a Kansas City-based company reduced MSK treatment costs by over 3x in value versus what traditional insurance spend would have delivered—in just one quarter.
Our model delivers:
- On-site and virtual MSK care that employees actually use
- Risk assessments that identify problems before they escalate
- Employee education that improves posture, workstation use, and recovery
- Cost savings through reduced claims and fewer missed days
It’s not just healthcare. It’s strategy.
Improving how your employees feel physically isn’t a nice-to-have perk. It’s a strategic move with downstream impact on everything from engagement to retention to your bottom line.
