Wellbeing at work
Wellbeing at work
The way you feel at work matters
Every person deserves to have wellbeing in the workplace – no matter who they are, what they do, or where they work.
Unfortunately, people often don’t have the data and knowledge about whether they will thrive at a company before they apply and even accept an offer. Indeed wants to change that.
Indeed can help you discover companies that align with your values, so you can find where you belong.
Work Wellbeing Score
Defining work wellbeing
Finally, employers are being evaluated based on a new set of criteria. Developed in partnership with leading happiness and wellbeing experts, the Work Wellbeing Score measures how people feel at work based on 4 key wellbeing outcomes.
Available for thousands of employers on Indeed Company Pages, you can use this information to help make decisions about what’s important to you in a workplace, and find companies that meet your individual needs.

How do you feel at work?
This initiative is fueled by the world’s largest study of work wellbeing2022 Indeed.com Data, Based on number of survey responses globally, with 15.3M surveys completed and counting.
The work wellbeing survey is a simple and scientifically supported questionnaire developed by experts to gain insight into a company’s work wellbeing, and determine their Work Wellbeing Score. We continuously collect this data and display these metrics for thousands of companies across Indeed.
“ Research has shown that happiness is a cause of success: happier people receive more positive reviews, are more productive, creative, earn higher incomes, and are less likely to burn out or be absent from work. Happier people are also more likely to get and keep jobs.”
Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky, Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Vice-Chair University of California, Riverside
“ How we spend our lives at work is critical to how we feel about life in general and the Work Wellbeing Score gives you an immediate sense for the workplaces where people thrive."
Dr. Jan-Emmanuel de Neve, Professor of Economics and Director, Wellbeing Research Centre, University of Oxford University of Oxford
Frequently asked questions
Respondents answer survey questions on a five-point scale, where 1=strongly disagree and 5=strongly agree. Points are assigned for each response on a scale ranging from 40 to 100.
For all wellbeing insights on company pages, labels are assigned based on how companies perform relative to each other. The scale is broken down into five groups: high (76+), above average (72-75), average (69-71), below average (65-68), and low (64 or lower). About 20% of companies will fall into each group.
The Work Wellbeing Score methodology has been developed with the guidance of Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky (Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Vice Chair, University of California, Riverside), and Dr. Jan-Emmanuel de Neve (Professor of Economics and Behavioral Science, University of Oxford).
The methodology is based on existing standards in social science for measuring general wellbeing (incorporating evaluative, affective, and eudaimonic dimensions of wellbeing) and is applied by institutions such as the OECD, UK Office of National Statistics, and the Oxford Wellbeing Research Centre.
The surveys are anonymous, and leaving a review is optional. See our Terms of Service for more information.
Your name is not included when you submit a review, but the review will state your job title, location, and employment status with that company. To keep information anonymous, we suggest that you do not include any personally identifiable information, such as your own name or names of co-workers, in your review. All reviews are subject to Indeed’s guidelines.
