Created initially to help the Department of Work and Pensions assess the impact on employee wellbeing of a broad range of workplace factors. This tool aims to help organisations identify which drivers of wellbeing have the most influence on the wellbeing of employees in the workplace. This survey measures the impact of key drivers of workplace wellbeing (Health, Security, Environment, Relationships and Purpose). The workplace questionnaire is a diagnostic tool and should therefore be used to understand which factors may be contributing to higher or lower wellbeing at work in a particular context.

This suggested set of questions was developed in collaboration with The Department for Work and Pensions, to give a quick snapshot of how people are doing with respect to different aspects of wellbeing. It can also be used to benchmark your data to see how your organisation is doing : https://whatworkswellbeing.org/resources/wellbeing-benchmarks-how-is-your-organisation-doing/

This guide was developed by Happy City and is aimed at any organisation, small group or community who want to collect wellbeing data. The guide states that today it is generally agreed that wellbeing is multidimensional and a positive concept. The guide covers how to collect quantitative wellbeing data and the associated challenges, the different types of methodology that can be used and what is important to consider when collecting quantitative wellbeing data in addition to the process of designing questionnaires and how to decide your sample size and population. This is a very useful introductory guide for those who want to find out more about measuring wellbeing. Links to further resources are also provided.

This tool can be used by organisations to assess the current working conditions for employees with regards to the management of risks associated with stress at work. Employees must answer with regards to their work in the past six months. The tool is comprised of 35 questions and is answered using a 5 point Likert scale of either strongly disagree to strongly agree or never to always. The questions cover the 6 primary stressors that are covered in the Management Standards. The HSE propose that the questions can be used as a single questionnaire or as part of another survey. A user manual is also available: https://www.hse.gov.uk/stress/assets/docs/indicatortoolmanual.pdf

The London Healthy Workplace Award is a set of standards that organisations meet in order to receive an official accreditation. The award provides a framework for best practice and recognises and rewards good practice.  There are five levels of the award which are suitable for a range of businesses: micro, foundation, achievement, excellence and communal. Although this framework is not a way of measuring wellbeing there is an emphasis in the award, particularly as you progress through the levels, to measure wellbeing and the effectiveness of any interventions implemented.
