The WeThrive Mental Health & Wellbeing Survey is designed to uncover how your employees feel and provide simple, practical and meaningful recommendations to help individuals struggling with certain aspects of their mental wellbeing.

The Mental Health & Wellbeing Survey asks 16 top-level questions covering the 16 key areas (find out more about these here).

In the areas that people score lowest, the survey then asks a further set of more specific questions. This means each person gets a unique survey experience, and the resulting analysis is able to identify the highest causes of frustrations and recommend actions to help the individual improve this aspect of their wellbeing.

Each question is answered on a 0-10 scale moving from Strongly disagree (0) to Strongly agree (10).

Our 16 top level questions

  • Own time - I get time for myself when I need it.

  • Sleeping - I wake up feeling energised.

  • Movement - I am physically active.

  • Emotional connection - I feel connected to others.

  • Receiving attention - I receive enough attention from people.

  • Giving attention - I give other people enough attention.

  • Belonging - I am involved in groups outside my home life.

  • Achievement - I have a sense of achievement at the end of the day.

  • Meaning - I feel my life is meaningful.

  • Emotions - I feel that I am able to manage my emotions.

  • Thinking - I am able to think clearly and calmly.

  • Physical health - I feel I have control over my physical health.

  • Safety - I feel secure (physically, emotionally, financially).

  • Free from worry - I am able to be free from worry and anxiety.

  • Control - I feel I have control over what happens to me and around me.

  • Respect - I feel appreciated, valued, and respected.
