Workplace Wellness – What Is It and Why It Should Matter
There are many factors that come into play when searching for a new career opportunity; location, pay rate, and benefits are always the topics of conversation during the interview process. How much of the company culture and the other important factors come into the conversation? At Tx:Team, we are proud of our culture and the essential elements that define us.
Indeed, one of the top platforms for job searching, has compiled information based on reviews and determined a Workplace Wellness score for each company. This score serves as a report card reflecting employees’ sentiments about their workplace. Indeed collects information to help job seekers find better work and to encourage companies to create positive work environments where employees can thrive. This information is helpful for people who are looking for jobs because it can show them which companies are the best fit for them.
Guided by insights from the largest study of work well-being and in collaboration with industry experts, the Work Wellbeing Score evaluates the key aspects of happiness, stress, satisfaction, and purpose.
The Work Wellbeing Score brings together the following four survey statements:
- Happiness: I feel happy at work most of the time.
- Purpose: My work has a clear sense of purpose.
- Satisfaction: Overall, I am completely satisfied with my job.
- Stress-free: I feel stressed at work most of the time.
