What is Wellbeing?

MULTIFACETED, HOLISTIC, INDIVIDUAL, DYNAMIC

Wellbeing has become a buzzword within organizations these days; however, it isn’t always clear what it means. There are many definitions of wellbeing across disciplines, most use a multifaceted, holistic, and individualized definition.

And there is one area of agreement: Wellbeing is not only the absence of disease—it encompasses broad dimensions of a well-lived life. As you can see in the image beside, all inputs lend themselves to the Core Determinants of Health by World Health Organization (WHO).

Wellbeing is fundamental to overall health and happiness doesn’t happen overnight. Wellbeing requires
action—and action is what we focus on at Empatho.

Why Wellbeing is
so Important?

Recent reports suggest that more than 61% of employees are burned out.The effects of burnout are also impacting engagement and productivity, with 81% of employees reporting a lack of engagement at work.

But burnout, low engagement, and productivity are not just personal issues—they affect entire organizations.

Burned-out employees are also 2.6 times as likely to seek another job4. In fact, 19 million workers quit their jobs between March and July of 2021 citing work-life balance and flexibility as the top reason. Losing talent results in operational disruptions, financial repercussions, lower team morale, and strain on human resources. The Society of Human Resources Management estimates the average financial impact of replacing an employee is six to nine months of their salary.

An Evidence-Based

Approach to Wellbeing

Empatho is a science-based virtual wellbeing platform that leverages the features of smartphones and wearable devices to monitor, analyze, and predict factors that contribute to each person’s wellbeing.

At Empatho, we view wellbeing as individual, dynamic, and actionable, so we focus on factors of wellbeing that people can take control over. We provide actionable recommendations to help our subscribers continuously improve their habits and behaviour, one step at a time.

The Empathway™ Provides Value for both Employees and Employers.

Each of your employees will experience a personalized and tailored wellbeing journey with Empatho. Their wellbeing score, insights, and recommendations are based on their behaviour and survey responses. Empatho specifically addresses the factors that are affecting their overall wellbeing.

For employers, we provide an overview of employee wellbeing within your organization. Empatho helps assess potential risk factors that may be driving burnout, reducing productivity, or contributing to employee turnover. We are steadfast about protecting the privacy of employees, so the employer dashboard will provide anonymized and aggregated scores across your organization to help you make important management decisions.

Empatho goes Beyond Typical Survey Programs.

Most wellbeing programs lack an objective view of wellbeing, instead of relying solely on subjective survey questions. However, survey-based programs come with the risk of inaccuracies and bias, in addition to being very user intensive. Employees often report that an easy user experience is vital to their engagement with a wellbeing program. Engagement is then heavily correlated with the impact of a wellbeing program.

Empatho brings together both subjective and objective measurements to create a fun and user-friendly experience while collecting the necessary data to personally support every subscriber’s unique wellbeing journey - the Empathway™.

Approach to Wellbeing

Why Empatho?

How does it Work?

We leverage the features of smartphones and wearable devices to capture the individual drivers affecting wellbeing.

Remote devices and technology are massive databases for behavioural (e.g., activity levels, sleep), physiological (e.g., heart rate metrics), and environmental (e.g., barometric pressure) monitoring. Harnessing the data from smart devices has introduced a new way of objectively measuring factors that contribute to wellbeing. Through monitoring this passive data, as well as strategically delivering subjective survey questions, we provide users with a comprehensive wellbeing experience.

Our personal wellbeing scores reflect a combination of four wellbeing dimensions: Vitality, Mood, Resilience and Productivity.

Empatho’s wellbeing dimensions are generated using passive and active data and interpreted by the latest in machine-learning technology.
