Invented by Mayo Clinic

Over ten years ago, Mayo Clinic leadership set out to better support the well-being of their providers. The first step in this process was getting an accurate measurement of staff wellness. The commonly-used surveys, however, were too long, too cumbersome, and didn’t provide the functionality needed to adequately measure and support their clinicians’ well-being.

The few existing assessments were one-time surveys, contained dozens or even hundreds of questions, lacked anonymity, didn’t provide participant resources, lacked comprehensive reporting for administrators, or focused only on burnout (just one dimension of distress and well-being). To solve these problems, Mayo Clinic researchers invented and validated the Well-Being Index to:

  • Anonymously measure well-being in less than 1-minute
  • Predict risk of distress over 6 dimensions
  • Provide immediate resources to participants
  • Deliver comprehensive reporting to wellness leaders
  • Track individual and organizational progress over time

Since then, the Well-Being Index has been launched at over 800 organizations around the world and is used every day to help leaders support their staff and Go Beyond Burnout.
