MEASURING SUCCESS The PERMAH wellbeing survey for workplaces is a recognised tool for assessing wellbeing and engagement within a group organisation and identifying how it can be improved. The survey (which we recommend is completed at the start and end of the programme) shows how your colleagues score against the 6 areas of wellbeing within the PERMAH model namely; 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Positive emotions – how happy they are Engagement with the organisation Relationships at work Meaning – how meaningful they find their work Accomplishment - how much they feel their work is valued Health – how well they manage their physical health
Your workplace report will allow you to look at what is working well, where you are struggling and what you are learning about caring for wellbeing of your cohort. This will allow you to assess both the impact of this programme and how well the business is supporting and giving graduates the tools to succeed. All rights reserved © 2020 Vikki Barnes / Gen.
