Guide individuals, teams and groups through their free PERMAH Wellbeing Survey results by helping them to reflect on the insights they’ve uncovered and what this might mean for how they can better support their own and each other’s wellbeing.

Of course, the PERMAH Wellbeing Survey is not the only tool you can use to measure wellbeing, it is simply one example. When considering a wellbeing measure please:

• ASSESS THE VALIDITY OF THE MEASURE: Is it replicated? Has it been peer-reviewed?
• UNDERSTAND WHAT IS MEASURED: What data will it give you? How will this data help you track the desired outcomes over time?
• REVIEW THE LANGUAGE USED IN THE MEASURE: Will the language be easily understood by the people you want to have use the measure?
• BE CLEAR ON THE VALUE OF THE MEASURE: Survey fatigue has become an increasing challenge as people often don’t see the results of their efforts for some time, if at all. What’s in it for the people who will spend their time and energy entering the data?
• CHOOSE THE APPROPRIATE LENGTH AND FORMAT: The shorter your survey and the easier it is for people to access (e.g., available in different languages, online, pen-and-paper, via interviews), the more people you will have complete the survey.
