Transforming how employee health & wellbeing is measured and managed

Well Work 360 Indicator Tool

Looking to improve the health and wellbeing of your organisation but not sure where to start? Or looking for a comprehensive metric for employee health and wellbeing? The Well Work 360 indicator tool© can assist you.

The indicator tool is designed to help you identify and measure key elements of employee health and wellbeing as well as providing recommendations to guide the next steps of your wellbeing strategy or programme. It consists of a three step process; a discovery call to understand your organisation or team's wellbeing needs, a survey to capture evidenced based measures of employee health and wellbeing, and a report that provides you with a breakdown of key scores (see diagram below) as well as recommendations and next steps for lower scoring items.

The indicator tool consists of a three step process (see diagram) which can be completed within 4-6 weeks. The survey and report can also be customised to:

  • Outline scores for departments/demographics that need more attention e.g. age, gender, diversity.

  • Capture employee engagement levels.

  • Provide feedback on your current health and wellbeing programme to identify areas of improvement.

  • Include qualitative questions that allow employees to voice their opinions.

The tool captures four key levels that impact employee health and wellbeing: the individual’s health and wellbeing, the work that they do, the team that they work with and the organisation they work for. There are twenty measures in total which have been chosen after reviewing national and international frameworks and guidance, leading academic research and industry leading reports. The tool is used to identify, measure and provide recommendations for; pillars of individual health and wellbeing, sources of work related-stress or psychosocial hazards that may exist at a work or team level and key organisational elements from culture of health research.

All four sections and twenty measures have been developed after reviewing national and international frameworks and guidance, academic research and industry reports.

This measure was developed in house by Well Work 360. It was driven by a number of observations or gaps in the workplace health and wellbeing space. For example, a lot of attention is directed towards the individual health and wellbeing. There is a lessor focus on how the characteristics of their work or the team impacts their health e.g. workload or team conflict.

Furthermore from Well Work 360’s own research it noted that measures that do focus on the work and team level don’t necessarily capture the key drivers at an organisational level e.g. leadership and culture.

Therefore the Well Work 360 was created to capture all aspects of the work environment that impact employee health and wellbeing. By helping you identify which areas need improving, strategies and plans can be developed to make a meaningful and long lasting change to employee health and wellbeing.
