VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- lululemon (NASDAQ: LULU) today released its third annual Global Wellbeing Report which reveals the worldwide state of wellbeing has not improved since the company first surveyed in 2021, during the height of the pandemic.

  • While the Global Wellbeing Index score has remained stagnant at 66, there is hope and an opportunity to learn from those with higher wellbeing.
  • In fact, multiple barriers to wellbeing feel harder to overcome and social pressures make wellbeing feel harder to achieve:
    28% don't have the time to think about their wellbeing.
  • 69% of those with high wellbeing are prioritizing their wellbeing over their career (vs. 54% of those with low wellbeing).
