How the survey is scored
This Deep Dive survey addresses four criteria of Wellbeing: Mental Wellbeing, Emotional Wellbeing, Physical Wellbeing and Connected Wellbeing. By listening to your employees along these key dimensions, you will be able to uncover the detailed specifics of innovation-related issues in your organisation.
Asking 12 questions on a 5-point Likert scale, from strongly agree to strongly disagree, this Deep Dive first finds each survey respondents’ total score. This is based on the proportion of positive answers (‘agree’ and ‘strongly agree’). Combining these scores, the average over all respondents is calculated, deriving the overall Wellbeing score.
This survey also contains four open-text questions, to understand and add context to the scores and support your findings.
Mental Wellbeing
The Mental Wellbeing dimension allows you to find out about your employees’ mental wellbeing, and what more you could be doing to support your team.
Mental health is related to how you process, understand and deal with information and experiences. For example, someone who feels well mentally has the ability to learn new things and cope well with change and uncertainty.
The Mental Wellbeing dimension is made up of the indicators: Mental State, Enablement, Initiatives and an open-text question.

Emotional Wellbeing
The Emotional Wellbeing dimension helps you find out about your team’s emotional wellbeing, and how your organisation can better support them.
Emotional health is linked to how well you are able to manage and express your emotions. For example, someone who is feeling good emotionally is able to deal with any emotions that arise (both good and bad) and expresses them appropriately. They are also in tune with how they are feeling, and can deal with these feelings in healthy ways.
