Scoring Information

The Wellbeing 360™ uses evidence based health risk parameters (e.g. physical inactivity, high stress levels or lack of fruit and vegetable consumption) to calculate individual scores across each of these segments; Mental Wellbeing, Physical Wellbeing, Work Wellbeing and Social Wellbeing. It then summarises the total score out of a possible 100. The resulting individual (and aggregate scores), provide the individual (and the employer) with an insightful picture of current health status and identifies any risks of ill-health or disease.

Mental Wellbeing
An individual's stress level is measured using specific components relating to stress on the DASS 21 Scale (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale).

Physical Wellbeing
Assessment covers: nutrition, exercise/ physical activity, sleep, biometrics (blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose and BMI), smoking, alcohol consumption, existing chronic conditions and family medical history.

Many questions relating to physical wellbeing come from the NZ and Australian National Health Surveys. These have been proven to measure actual clinical health risk (including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity).

Social Wellbeing
The individual's level of happiness and purpose is deemed their 'social wellbeing'. This is assessed using eight questions from the Flourishing Scale.
This scale is designed to assess self-perceived success in areas identified as important for psychological flourishing. These include relationships, meaning and purpose, self-esteem and optimism

Work Wellbeing
The level of engagement and connectedness the individual feels at work is important and links to all other domains.
Assessment uses seven questions from the international Work and Wellbeing Survey developed by Dr Bridget Juniper.
