Thriving FROM work. I am actually better off, in many ways, because of my time at work. Is this possible? It seems to run counter to the high levels of disengagement globally in the workforce. And, it is true in many places.
Our team at Harvard’s Center for Work, Health, and Well-being has developed a robust way of testing the level of thriving from work. Our brief survey (30 items in long form, 8 items in short form) explores “the state of positive mental, physical, and social functioning in which workers’ experiences of their work and working conditions enable them to thrive in their overall lives, contributing to their ability to achieve their full potential in work, home, and community.”
The survey has been applied to workers in the USA and now in Latin America. This statistically validated measure has now been robustly validated in Spanish. If you use the questions from the short or long forms of this Thriving from Work survey, in English or Spanish (go here for the different versions and a user manual), please let us know and share what you find.
It is possible to thrive from work, and here are some of the ways we are finding that are living within organizations today.
