About the Report
Interpersonal Wellness Services Inc. leads the way with the world's first comprehensive Well-being Intelligence Curriculum™, designed to elevate and enrich workplace health and performance. Our groundbreaking approach to wellness improvement integrates identifying well-being risks and targeting competencies and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to revolutionize how organizations approach employee training and performance development.
WIS® Assessment
The WIS® Assessment is a holistic wellness assessment that explores risks to users’ well-being and alerts them where they need to take proactive steps. Users receive a comprehensive report on improving their well-being in alignment with core well-being competencies. WIS® is the most comprehensive wellness assessment and the only one that recognizes and assesses the interpersonal dimension as vital to human well-being and thriving as part of its nine-dimensional instrument.
Compelling Reasons for WIS® Assessment
Because humans are complex systems of interconnected dimensions, when one aspect of our lives falters, it drains energy from our entire life system, potentially leading to burnout, overwhelm, and anxiety. This diminishes our resilience, mental health, and amplifies other risks to our well-being.
Identifying where your energy is being lost helps you regain vitality and thrive across all dimensions of life. Moving beyond traditional solutions for mental health, WIS® offers a comprehensive evaluation of risks to your well-being that can impact mental health.
The WIS® Assessment amplifies awareness of risks to well-being by showing how actions and choices we may be unaware of contribute to this risk. Designed to spotlight these vulnerabilities, the WIS® Assessment empowers us to take effective, restorative actions or consciously accept the consequences.
What sets WIS® Assessment apart is its emphasis on the interpersonal dimension, which is how we relate to ourselves and others. This crucial aspect of well-being often overlooked is central to our ability to flourish. WIS demonstrates that every interpersonal exchange emanates an energy that can impact others positively or negatively.
What WIS® Measures
WIS® Assessment measures nine dimensions, 12 competencies, and 27 psychosocial spheres. It provides information on your team well-being in relation, connection, stamina, resilience, spirit, and wisdom. It also measures wellness score range, wellness level, profile, and well-being competency alignment. These are presented as easy-to-understand charts, graphs, and numerical scores.
WIS® Assessment provides a global standard for holistic human development capacity for well-being. It benchmarks what makes humans thrive, setting new standards for well-being in all nine dimensions of life.
Report Findings
This report is a compilation of your employee group assessment that displays the dimensions and competencies where they are thriving and those where you can reduce your corporate well-being risks.
The following charts and graphs show how your group is trending on the nine levels of wellness. It also provides an aggregate score for the competencies to benchmark their current path to well-being. This will indicate optimizing employee engagement to build resilience and enhance performance and work efficiency.
Accuracy of the WIS Report
Please remember that the competency analysis in the WIS® Assessment report only reflects the employee's current well-being risks and opportunities. Developing the associated competencies can improve these results.
The report also highlights the team WIS® profile, which captures their well-being risks in all nine life dimensions and twelve competencies to show their path toward well-being.
Identifying and Reporting Risks to Well-being
Each score, ranging from 1 to 10, is accompanied by a descriptive label denoting the level of competency alignment with a wellness range in that dimension. A wellness level below 5 indicates the need for increased attention to mitigate well-being risks. Consequently, the potential for competency development and further alignment is deemed "moderate to high."
While there are some concerns within the 6- 7 score range, a closer examination is advised to determine the next steps for the employee's growth. The competency development opportunity is described as "Moderate."
Scores ranging from 8 to 9 indicate overall satisfaction and minimal issues within the area. The opportunity for competency improvement is classified as "Low." The aim is to highlight opportunities to enhance the employee's overall life satisfaction and reduce well-being risks.
Risks to Well-being Related to the Dimensions of Wellness
The results will show a numeric wellness score range, the level of wellness associated with it, the wellness profile, and the well-being competency analysis that informs how much competency alignment they have in this area.
As seen below, there are eight wellness levels, some of which correspond to one or two well-being competencies and one of the nine dimensions of wellness.
Your enclosed graphs and charts will identify a level of wellness and a numeric score for your team to help assess your well-being risk level.

It highlights the potential for personal challenges and growth, extending beyond interpersonal relations to underscore the value of contributing through professional endeavours.
Occupational Wellness Competency – Engagement
Engagement within the organizational setting is comparable to the commitment and enthusiasm demonstrated in personal connections. It reflects an individual's dedication to their professional role, visible in the thoroughness and zeal applied to work responsibilities. This can be observed in various professions, where the commitment to duties indicates a profound engagement with their occupational roles.
Understanding Engagement
Engagement signifies a deep involvement and commitment to certain work aspects, characterized by being fully absorbed or captivated by specific tasks or roles. While not everyone may find every aspect of their job riveting, most individuals can identify components of their work that genuinely interest them. Such engagement facilitates knowledge expansion and improved performance capability, simplifying supervisory and leadership tasks and rendering work more satisfying.

Intellectual Dimension
Implications for Your Organization
This segment elaborates on the WIS® Assessment outcomes regarding the intellectual wellness dimension within your organization, breaking down components such as competency levels, wellness range, and psychosocial aspects.
Intellectual Dimension in the Organizational Context
The Intellectual Wellness dimension emphasizes the importance of recognizing and fostering an organization's collective intellectual capacity toward wellness and excellence. It involves assessing the current intellectual strengths of the organization and identifying avenues for their expansion to achieve greater success. This dimension is intricately linked to cognitive functions and the efficiency of organizational thought processes. Reflecting on current neuroscience insights, which suggest a mere 15% utilization of our brain's capacity, it becomes evident that many organizations might not fully leverage their intellectual potential. The assessment scores provide a gauge of how effectively your organization is utilizing its cognitive resources, offering a pathway toward maximizing this invaluable asset.
Intellectual Wellness Competency – Capacity Building
Capacity building within an organization entails continuously acquiring new knowledge, skills, competencies, ideas, and perspectives, enhancing the organization's intellectual prowess and confidence. This can be achieved through various means, such as professional development programs, adopting innovative practices, engaging in research and development, and fostering a culture of continuous learning.

Implications for Your Organization
This document details the WIS® Assessment's outcomes concerning your organization's environmental wellness dimension, outlining the competency levels, wellness range, and psychosocial aspects assessed.
Environmental Dimension in the Organizational Context
The Environmental Wellness Dimension evaluates how your organization interacts and aligns with its surrounding environment, emphasizing the principle of interdependence. It assesses whether your organization operates in harmony with or resistance to its operational context, underlining the necessity for acceptance and adaptation to various environmental elements. Organizations that achieve a balance and embrace their environmental context demonstrate a robust understanding of interdependence. They recognize the limits of their control and focus their efforts on areas where they can have the most significant impact with the least resistance.
This dimension confronts the detrimental effects of ongoing struggle and resistance, which can deplete essential energy resources. It promotes the acceptance of immutable factors and the exploitation of the myriad opportunities presented by the environment. Effective adaptation requires the organization to adjust to new circumstances, stakeholders, and realities, actively contributing to the community and the broader ecosystem. The objective is to enhance awareness and foster a culture of appreciation and gratitude within the organization.
Environmental Wellness Competency – Interdependence
The concept of interdependence is fundamental to our existence, including that of organizations. Organizations rely on their environmental context for resources, influenced by natural rhythms and cycles. Despite this interdependence, a mindset of independence and self-interest often prevails, leading to environmental neglect and social discord. Such attitudes can engender greed, envy, and jealousy, resulting in resentment and adverse actions. A lack of social awareness and disregard for the impact on others are prevalent issues.
Organizations can make a positive contribution by adopting respectful practices and treating the environment and all stakeholders with dignity. This includes giving back and replenishing what has been used. While individual and organizational efforts may appear insignificant, collectively, they can enact global change.
Psychosocial Spheres
The Environmental Wellness Dimension provides a framework for a deeper understanding and engagement with environmental aspects from an organizational perspective. While this approach offers one way to categorize these areas, alternative views may be relevant in other contexts. The aim is to increase the significance and depth extracted from each psychosocial sphere, linking them to every facet of the organization's operations and its relationships.

Financial Dimension
Implications for Your Organization
This document interprets the WIS® Assessment outcomes relating to the financial wellness dimension within your organization, dissecting components such as competency levels, wellness range, and psychosocial aspects assessed.

The Financial Wellness Dimension highlights the organization's financial health, urging a reassessment of how resources, notably finances and time, are managed. It demands a thorough evaluation of the organization's resource management practices, emphasizing the importance of strategic planning, prioritization, and budget adherence. Financial wellness transcends mere capital accumulation; it encompasses the organization's capacity to fulfill its financial commitments, grow equity, save, and invest judiciously toward its growth and development. The organization's financial health is not merely a factor in its wealth, but how it manages its finances.
This dimension also underscores the mastery of efficient time management and networking strategies, alongside establishing a robust savings plan to bolster financial security. Improved financial wellness positively influences all organizational facets, enabling genuine and confident operation, liberated from fiscal overstretch and monetary concerns. It directs organizations to reassess their financial approaches, fostering innovation and financial acumen for a fulfilling and less encumbered existence.
Financial Wellness Competency – Innovation
Innovation stands as a cornerstone for attaining financial wellness. While commonly associated with financial gain, in this context, financial wellness also pertains to the inventive and creative stewardship of time and resources. Being innovative involves unlocking the creative potential within the organization. Many organizations fail to harness this potential due to prevailing fears and doubts that obstruct the materialization of innovative ideas and financial prospects. These apprehensions can lead to forgone revenue and unrealized concepts. Surmounting these fears, alongside efficient planning and prioritization, can unveil substantial financial avenues.
Psychosocial Speres
This dimension assesses three psychosocial spheres, providing a structure to comprehend how these elements interplay with facets of personal and professional interactions within the organization. These spheres offer a scaffold for enhancing your organization's financial acumen, management, and resilience.

Implications for Your Organization
This document provides an interpretation of the WIS® Assessment outcomes relating to the physical wellness dimension within your organization, detailing areas such as competency levels, wellness range, and psychosocial aspects assessed.
Physical Dimension in the Organizational Context
Physical wellness is crucial in achieving optimal health and functionality, extending beyond merely avoiding illness or addiction. It embodies a comprehensive state of physical health, where the organization fosters an environment that promotes its members' well-being and optimal functioning. Achieving this level of wellness requires active engagement in practices that nurture and enhance the overall workplace environment.
For an organization, physical wellness encompasses promoting a lifestyle free from harmful addictions and behaviours, thus sustaining healthy energy levels and endurance among employees. This state of wellness benefits individual health and positively influences the organizational culture, making it more dynamic and vibrant. The assessment of this dimension reflects how the organization perceives its collective physical well-being and its progress toward achieving optimal health and vitality for its workforce. Recognizing the current state is crucial for setting and attaining health-related objectives at the organizational level.
Competency - Vibrancy
Vibrancy within an organization is characterized by its collective energy, enthusiasm, and vigor. It challenges the sedentary tendencies of modern work environments and calls for self-motivation, strong stamina, and an active lifestyle supported by health-conscious policies and practices. This includes encouraging a balanced diet, adequate physical activity, and proper care among employees and creating a work environment free from addictive behaviours and tendencies that undermine health.
Wellness in this context means maintaining an organizational culture that supports vitality, endurance, and a lifestyle devoid of conditions that impede performance. It involves making conscious choices that enhance collective well-being and avoiding those that deplete energy and strength. Vigilance against habits harmful to health and stamina is also key. The presentation of the workplace environment contributes to the overall sense of vibrancy, affecting employees' morale and productivity.
Psychosocial Spheres
The psychosocial spheres within the physical wellness dimension offer a framework for understanding and enhancing the organization's approach to physical wellness. While this methodology presents one way to categorize these life areas, different perspectives may apply in other contexts. The intention is to enrich the organizational perspective on physical wellness, relating it to every aspect of work life and interpersonal relationships that influence the workplace.

Interpersonal Dimension in the Organizational Context
The Interpersonal Dimension of well-being within an organization evaluates the quality of interactions and relationships among its members. It emphasizes the importance of minimizing conflict to enhance satisfaction and productivity from meaningful workplace relationships. This dimension scrutinizes the organization's ability to manage disruptions and forge resilient connections among teams and departments. High scores indicate an organization's proficiency in conflict resolution, resilience, negotiation, forgiveness, collaboration, and teamwork. In contrast, lower scores, particularly in resilience, signal an urgent need for development in these critical interpersonal skills at both individual and organizational levels.
Competency - Resilience
Resilience in an organizational setting refers to the collective ability to bounce back from challenges, setbacks, or disruptions. It is a proactive competency, developed in anticipation of potential obstacles, essential for maintaining a stable and adaptive organizational environment. Cultivating resilience involves fostering a supportive network within the organization that aids recovery and growth during and after difficult periods. It also includes creating policies and practices that promote psychological safety, encourage open communication, and support employee well-being.
Psychosocial Spheres
The psychosocial spheres within the Interpersonal Wellness Dimension provide a framework for a deeper understanding of the organization's interpersonal dynamics. The aim is to enhance awareness of how interpersonal relationships play a significant role in how employees experience the workplace culture.

Bibliography
A growing body of research has explored the effects of mindfulness-based practices, such as meditation and yoga, on psychological well-being.
These studies have demonstrated that these practices can have positive effects on mood, stress levels, and overall well-being (Brown & Ryan, 2003).
Cognitive-behavioural therapies, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), have also been found to be effective in promoting well-being, particularly for individuals with depression and anxiety (Cuijpers et al., 2013).
Positive interpersonal connections with loved ones, friends, and romantic interests are crucial for psychological health (Frederick & Loewenstein, 1999). These connections give people emotional support, a sense of community, and support for happiness and wellbeing (Peterson & Seligman, 2004).
An individual's overall assessment of their life and their emotions of joy and fulfilment are referred to as life satisfaction (Diener et al., 1985). It is regarded as being essential to well-being since it is intimately correlated with one's sense of meaning and purpose in life (Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi, 2000).
