Our approach ... to Wellbeing research is very much built upon having ‘The Big Listen-In’ and allowing the ‘Words’ to speak for themselves. Where hard facts provide a way of benchmarking, words and language patterns allow you to tap into ‘Feelings’ and, if the objective is to promote organisations full of Well-Beings, then you must be led by feelings.
When looking at what was on o er to measure, track and trend the wellbeing of UK employees we wanted to find a way of measuring the role that relationships played in the subjective wellbeing of the population. Relationships being the most significant factor in determining the long-term health and recorded happiness in Harvard’s 80 year study of Adult development. After significant research and much deliberation, The WoWW! Business created the Wellbeing benchmarks by factoring in 5-key elements.

When measuring ‘Wellbeing’ you must accept that there is a ‘spectrum’ of wellbeing that covers two sides of the same coin, in so much as you can either show signs of being ‘well’ or showing signs of being ‘un-well’. Therefore, we have built our research using a Wellbeing scale from minus -5 to positive +5, from greyscale to colour, from Un-Wellbeing to Wellbeing.
