Wellbeing Benchmarks - how is your organisation doing?

When we measure things, it can be helpful to know how other people in the UK respond. Find out how your survey results compare to these benchmarks.

See the evidence-informed ‘snapshot’ wellbeing survey questions we recommend using on our website. You can then use these benchmarks to help make sense of the results. 

The data here is the most up-to-date available. But it doesn’t take into account the wellbeing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, so we advise caution when interpreting the results. 

You can also access our online guidance about steps you can take to improve wellbeing in your organisation, along with international evidence on what works when it comes to a range of work-related issues, from training to team building to organisational resilience.

If you would like tailored support to measure, analyse, and improve wellbeing within your organisation, please get in touch with us at info@whatworkswellbeing.org.

Go beyond averages and focus on the ‘wellbeing worst off’

The benchmarks here show average and mean scores as a snapshot to help you get a sense of your organisation’s wellbeing. It is important that you look beyond the averages in your organisation and pay attention to the groups of employees who are scoring particularly low in the different wellbeing dimensions.
