Quality of working lives
We spend a large amount of our time at work and the quality of working life is vitally important. Work should be the place where we derive considerable health and wellbeing, as it should support the key features that can make us happy. These include having mutually beneficial relationships, challenges, new experiences, security, and the use of skills, knowledge and experience.
However, it is often the case that work makes us unhappy, and events at work and at home can divert our attention away from working activities, cause us anxiety and eventually stress.
Employers need to know how well their workforce is. They need to know because they can change the ways work is managed to ensure that everyone derives significant benefits from being at work. Ensuring a good quality of working life for its staff makes an organisation more successful, by increasing and improving productivity, gaining a larger market share by increasing the number of clients and customers, and improving the quality of services being offered.
Our partner, Quality of Working Life, provides a fully validated and reliable assessment of the workforce that assesses 6 features:
- Career and job satisfaction
- Working conditions
- General wellbeing
- Work life balance
- Stress at work
- Control at work
In addition, the Quality of Working Life assessment includes the requirements placed on organisations to assess their organisation against the Health and Safety Executive Management Standards.
Our consultancy service helps organisations to use the results of this survey to make improvements to the health and wellbeing of the workforce.
