The Happiness at Work assessment is iOpener’s online survey that assesses your wellbeing and resilience at work. The assessment is completely free and can be accessed via this link. Upon completion of the survey you will receive a personalised Happiness at Work report. Your report will show you how the various elements of Happiness at Work fit together and what you can do to improve each one of them. One of the ways to do so is by using the self-coaching questions you'll find in the report.
What you get once you’ve completed your Happiness at Work assessment:
Your 9-page report gives you personalised information that will help you to:
How to work through your report:
Often people who complete their Happiness at Work assessment have an accredited Happiness at Work practitioner to debrief their report with them. But, as you may be taking your assessment independently, here is a brief explanation of how to interpret the results on your own and how to use them to take action.
On page 1, you can see the overview of each of your scores and how you compare to the averages in the database. In the pentagon there are three levels of information:
The first thing to look for is the areas in which your scores are highest. This is important because these are the cornerstones that you can leverage to build your general resilience and wellbeing at work.
The next 5 pages are an explanation of your personal scores on each of the 5C’s,
Contribution, Conviction, Culture, Commitment and Confidence.
You can coach yourself using the self-coaching questions:
At the bottom of each page you will find questions to help you reflect on your current situation. They’ll help you make a plan to ensure that you maintain your high scores and are able to bring some of the lower scores up.
These self-coaching questions are designed to help you do some introspection, and to create insights around the actions that you can take, independently of your boss, colleagues or circumstances. It will help you if you make a note of your answers to these questions. And create a list of personal and professional goals that have been inspired by these questions.
You’ll also be able to reflect on your three highest and lowest scoring questions.
Achieving your potential:
The report gives you an assessment of how much of your personal potential you are currently achieving. And guides you to think about what you need to work on in order to achieve your full potential at work.
Your Trust, Recognition and Pride triangle:
You’ll see the three levels of information in your Trust, Recognition and Pride (TRP) triangle that you saw in your 5Cs pentagon on page 1. Here’s a reminder. The triangle shows:
Your Trust score indicates the extent to which you trust your organisation.
Your Recognition score shows how much recognition you believe you get back from your organisation for the job that you do each day.
Your Pride score is your indication of how proud you are to work for your organisation.
These TRP scores are strongly related to each of the 5Cs and are key to the levels of resilience, happiness and wellbeing you are feeling right now at work. And, of course, these have a knock-on to how you are performing at work too.
How does your general happiness compare?
When we work with someone and their Happiness at Work report, we of course want to know how they are doing in general, not just at work. This is where your general happiness score comes in.
If there is a big difference between your general happiness and what is going on in your work life, then it is something to be thinking about. Ask yourself what is within your power to change in order to achieve a more equal balance.
