A new report from Leger, commissioned by Dialogue Health Technologies Inc. (“Dialogue”), reveals that Canadian employees feel their overall well-being continues to decline.

Dialogue’s annual State of Workplace Well-Being report, developed in partnership with Leger, shows that factors like mental and physical health, sleep and financial health have all declined compared to 2025. According to the report, 35% of Canadians say their mental health has worsened, up from 30% last year, while 30% say their physical health has declined, up from 21%. More than one-third (38%) report their sleep quality has worsened, compared with 26% in 2025, and 35% say their financial health has worsened, up from 29% last year.

The report, which surveyed 1,002 employees and 200 HR decision-makers across Canada, shows that this decrease in well-being is impacting how Canadians are showing up in the workplace. Only 21% of employees feel energized and motivated most days, while 1 in 2 are experiencing some level of burnout. This contributes to reduced productivity as 74% of employees report working at reduced capacity due to health or stress challenges in the past year.
