Workplace Happiness Index: Hong Kong
Happy employees don't just stay longer, they perform better too. Our Workplace Happiness Index reveals what really matters to Hong Kong workers and how to keep them engaged in a changing world.
Conducted by Jobsdb by SEEK with independent agency Nature between October and November 2025, the study surveyed around 1,000 individuals currently in the employment market, aged 18 to 64, and living in Hong Kong.
Happy employees are 5x more motivated
Purpose at work, company culture and meaningful day-to-day responsibilities are the key drivers of workplace happiness. Get these right and you'll build a workforce that's engaged and loyal, and far less likely to look elsewhere.
Nearly half of Hong Kong workers feel burnt out
This isn't just a wellbeing issue, it's a retention risk. Understanding what's driving burnout in your organisation is the first step to addressing it.
Workers perceive AI as a potential career threat
These worries can affect morale and productivity. The good news? When you understand what Hong Kong workers are worried about, you can support themthrough change and position AI as a tool that enhances their work rather than replaces it.
