Assessment: how mature is your wellbeing strategy?

Most companies do something for employee wellbeing. Far fewer can say whether it adds up to a strategy or is just a list of initiatives. This wellbeing strategy maturity assessment shows you where you stand today and what your next step should be.

What it is

A 12-question multiple choice assessment that places your organization at one of four maturity levels, from scattered initiatives to a strategy that learns from data. You get your level, a read on your strongest and weakest areas, and three practical recommendations.

Who it's for

• CHROs and People Directors who need to defend the wellbeing budget in front of the CEO and finance.
• Wellbeing, employee experience and occupational health leads who want to bring order to what they already do.
• Teams putting together next year's people plan.

What's inside

• 12 questions across seven areas: ownership, listening to employees, segmentation by employee group, the role of managers, link to business outcomes, privacy and trust, and the improvement cycle.
• Your maturity level, with a description of what typically happens at that stage.
• Your weakest area, so you know where to start.
• Three practical recommendations tailored to your level.
• A PDF version to share with your team or leadership.

How to use it

1. Answer it yourself first, based on how things work today, not how you'd like them to work.
2. Ask two or three colleagues (occupational health, a line manager, someone from the leadership team) to answer it separately. The gaps between answers are a finding in themselves.
3. Pick one recommendation and turn it into an action with an owner and a date.
4. Retake it in six months to check your progress.
