The Index for Human Thriving at Work

We measure so many things to ensure our organizations get the results we want. And yet, people are what make companies great but are often not on the dashboard or KPI’s. What if you could measure human thriving at work? The Index is a short survey we’ve developed that provides you with the fastest possible gut check for how you’re doing—as well as a tailored set of guidelines to help to begin diving deeper NOW.

Do you make any of these common mistakes in what you measure?

Many businesses – especially young or growing organizations – make these same mistakes:

You measure business outcomes but not employee well-being.
You track customer satisfaction but not employee satisfaction.
You know your revenue growth rates but don’t weigh employee retention rates.
You measure productivity but dismiss the importance of work-life balance.
You always know quarter-over-quarter profits but rarely discuss long-term sustainability.

You measure task completion but not the quality of work produced.
You track team output but not team cohesion and dynamics.
You reward individual achievement but not the collaborative efforts that made them possible.
You emphasize innovation in products but not in organizational culture and processes.

Why traditional metrics are incomplete

For every organization to survive, it needs resources. Resources = Money.

Your business needs money, which is why traditional metrics like profit and loss, sales, and expenses matter. We do not suggest you stop measuring what matters.

But it is no wonder you overlook measuring human metrics in the face of all the things you measure.

You want your organization and the people in it to thrive, not merely survive, right?

What sets great organizations apart

What makes organizations great is the people who work there.

Smart business decisions matter. Making deals, setting prices, strategic partnerships, the right investment—but you’re good at that already. It’s gotten you this far, after all.

The most successful leaders know a hidden secret, though.

Smart business decisions paired with excellent human practices create resilient, robust organizations that last.

The simple recipe for human thriving at work

For decades we’ve worked with smart leaders to focus and amplify the human side of their organization.

Your people are your greatest asset. When they bring all of their best efforts and energies to work, they become your superpower. When people thrive at work, everyone wins.

When they languish, it costs you.

But how do you know if people are thriving at your organization?

At first glance, it can seem much more challenging to measure human thriving, especially when you’re used to measuring easily quantifiable resources like revenue, cost-to-market, and so on.

While it might look different—think stories, not digits (although we can use numbers—the science of measuring human thriving in organizations is well-developed and robust.)

But it’s under-emphasized in business schools, medical schools, and most advanced leader education because it’s not seen as being as critical as monetary and production metrics.

An organization that doesn’t properly optimize human thriving will always experience limited growth and success.

What gets measured counts. We’ve seen it over and over again.

Presenting: The Index for Human Thriving at Work

Many surveys exist that offer rigorous information about specific elements of human thriving. Some measure engagement, some measure culture, and others measure team cohesion.

While these tools are indispensable as you work to advance human thriving at your organization, they don’t offer an at-a-glance overview of how things are going for your people. To remedy this, we condensed our decades of experience into a 5-10-minute survey called The Index for Human Thriving at Work.

The Index will provide you with the fastest possible gut check for how you’re doing—as well as a tailored set of guidelines to help to begin diving deeper NOW.

Are you ready to take human thriving seriously?

I have to warn you: the road to flourishing people isn’t always easy. There will be hard conversations ahead. You will need to be brave and fight for what you want and what your organization needs, even when it makes your palms sweat.

But if you want your business to be one of the best out there, you must put human thriving at the center.

How The Index for Human Thriving works

We’ve interviewed and consulted thousands of clients over the past few decades. During that time, we’ve also conducted wide-ranging surveys (that shaped the foundation for Moementum CEO Moe Carrick’s 3 best-selling books).

Across all of these data points, we’ve found certain questions that reveal the current strengths and opportunities in leaders’ approaches to human thriving in their organizations.

Here’s How We Did It:
