Employee Well-Being Index
Re-Imagine the Importance of Employee Wellness
High stress and anxiety related to job function are common across all industries. In a 12-month span, 30% of today’s workforce are likely to experience some degree of a mental health disorder. Mental health awareness and preventative measures are becoming a high priority in today’s workplaces.
A Validated Screening Tool Invented by Mayo Clinic
The Employee Well-Being Index is a validated screening tool invented by Mayo Clinic to evaluate fatigue, depression, burnout, anxiety/stress, and mental/physical quality of life in general employees in the United States. It can be used for ancillary staff at healthcare organizations or any type of employee who may be at a high level of distress/fatigue (ie: pilots, police officers, first responders, etc). An individual’s score is compared to normative data from a large, national sample of U.S. employees. Evidence indicates that the Index is useful not only for identifying employees in distress, but also for identifying those whose degree of distress places them at risk for adverse consequences (e.g. work error or suicidal ideation).
