2.

3.

4.

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.
