With 2021 coming to an end, we reflect on another year of global change, and look towards 2022 with hope that the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic is behind us.

Another year of uncertainty lead to new queries and concerns from the public, who turned to the internet for support in understanding the ever-changing circumstances and how to navigate life during the pandemic.

In this report we explore the wellbeing trends that are emerging for the new year, including what Covid has taught us, the importance of values, approaches to hybrid working and a few challenges that may lie ahead.

Using data sources including the Office for National Statistics, the NHS, Google search trends and Westfield Health’s wellbeing surveys, this report investigates key wellbeing themes from the past year and helps businesses get a head start on supporting their people as we enter 2022.
