Our Model
Wellbeing has something of an image problem…
For many, ‘wellbeing’ conjures ideas of candles and meditation, and doesn’t belong in the workplace. So why did we choose to use wellbeing as a framework for improving employee experience and organizational impact?
Because effective employee wellbeing can help to:
Avoid Burnout
Wellbeing is much more than how people feel – it affects the number of sick days employees take, job performance, burnout and the likelihood of leaving your organization [source].
Increase Productivity
When employees are more engaged, they have greater job satisfaction, creativity, and higher productivity [source].
Lower Staff Turnover
Employee satisfaction is strongly correlated with increased productivity, customer loyalty, and profitability and firm performance, and lower staff turnover [source].
Improve Work Quality
Greater employee wellbeing is associated with greater work quality and productivity, and fewer health problems that lead to sick leave [source].
Foster Wellbeing
Staff are increasingly aware and concerned about their wellbeing. 60% of employees, 64% of managers, and 75% of C-suite employees reported seriously considering quitting their current job for one that would better support their well-being [source].
The w@w Model
The w@w model is based on research into productivity, employee engagement, workplace culture, organizational psychology, and mental health & wellbeing.
It transforms workplace wellbeing from an abstract ‘nice-to-have’, to a concrete, quantitative tool to better understand where your employees are excelling, and where they’re experiencing challenges.
The five components of workplace wellbeing are:
​
-
Health
-
Finance
-
Career

Connection
