What does the EWS measure?
The Employee Wellbeing Survey measures three factors: Psychological Health, Job Satisfaction and Workload. There is a well established link between these outcome and the quality of Human Resources Management in organisations Psychological Health is a measure that is sensitive to work and out-of-work pressures. Staff who score low on this measure are likely to report feeling drained, have trouble concentrating and difficulty making decisions. They may feel anxious and unable to cope, whereas staff that score high on this dimension feel equipped to face challenges, are relaxed and confident about the future. Job Satisfaction measures the extent to which staff perceive the organisational features of their work setting as providing opportunity for personal development and positive engagement with the purpose of the organisation. Such staff members are likely to be happy with their supervision, consider their job prospects to be good, feel part of a team and feel able to use their abilities
