MEASURING YOUR SUCCESS The PERMAH wellbeing survey is a recognised tool to assess your wellbeing and engagement and will look at how it can be improved during your apprentice journey. The survey (which we recommend is completed at the start and end of the programme) shows how you score against the 6 areas of wellbeing within the PERMAH model namely; 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Positive emotions – how happy you are Engagement with the organisation Relationships at work Meaning – how meaningful you find their work Accomplishment - how much they feel you work is valued Health – how well you 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 throughout your journey and help you to be the best you can be and succeed.

WHAT DO WE NEED FROM YOU? • We are all individuals and think and act in different ways so each person going through this programme will take different things from it. The key is that you make it work for you and find the tools and knowledge you can take forward into your career: •

We therefore ask that you :

•

Are open-minded to new concepts and ideas

•

Are willing to give things a go and stick with them (after all it takes 21 days to form a habit!)

•

Use the tools we provide you with – we know they work!

•

Record your journey– we will be providing you with a journal. Please make sure you bring this to each session

•

Actively participate, be inquisitive and make the most of the experts while you can

•

Please ensure you are visibly on camera during online sessions

•

The more you participate the more you will gain from each session

“Try to learn something about everything and

everything about something”
