What predicts well-being at work?


“Life’s not just being alive, but being well”, (Martial, a Spanish born, Latin epigrammist from the 1st Century).

Through the use of our quality of working life survey, we have been able to gather data related to a wide range of work life factors and outcomes, and we’re looking at how they interact to predict and explain well-being at work.

We spend a lot of our waking hours at work, and what we do that plays a large part in our identity and self-image. So well-being outcomes like happiness, depression, stress, and enjoyment at work really do matter. Certainly, if we are unhappy at work it can sour how we feel about everything else.
