What are companies doing with regards to 'Wellbeing'

Learn about the Factors Effect Model

What effect will focus on the 'Wellbeing' factor have?

Wellbeing - How employees feel about stress, pressure at work and life balance

The Wellbeing factor is closely linked with Fair Deal. If the scores for Fair Deal are low, the first place we’d recommend you look is Wellbeing.

If Wellbeing is also low, it may be that employees are being worked too hard and feel they are not being fairly remunerated for it.
