White paper · First edition
How the assessment was built and tested: checked against heart, sleep and cognitive measures in the same people over twelve months, and against outcomes across nearly 7,000 employees.
The science
Four research programs sit behind every score.
Scientific review1 / 4
A review of the science on energy, rest, focus, stress and what makes people want to do their work.
The eight areas we measure, and the statements employees answer.
Expert validation2 / 4
Interviews and focus groups with scientists, doctors, psychologists, HR directors and CEOs.
Assessment statements that are valid, and clear to the employee answering them.
Biomarker study3 / 4
We compared what people said in the assessment with what gold-standard biomarker tests showed. The assessment itself collects no biometric data.
Assessment statements informed by what the body shows, not only by opinion.
Benchmark studies4 / 4
The full assessment, run at scale across markets and industries.
Every result compared with its market and its industry, from the first assessment.
