WIS® Resilience Index

The Science Behind WIS®

Why Resilience Can Be Measured — and Strengthened

Most workplace wellness models treat stress, burnout, and conflict as isolated issues. The Well being Intelligence System® (WIS®) is built on a different premise:

Human resilience is systemic, relational, and measurable

WIS® is a science anchored framework developed from interpersonal neurobiology, neuroscience, and applied systems thinking, designed to explain how people function under pressure , not just how they feel.

Interpersonal Neurobiology: The Foundation

Interpersonal neurobiology shows that:

  • The brain, mind, and relationships are inseparable
  • Stress, safety, connection, and meaning directly affect:
  • cognition
  • emotional regulation
  • decision-making
  • behavior at work

This means resilience is not a personality trait or mindset, it is a dynamic system shaped by:

  • Internal regulation
  • relational environments
  • organizational
    conditions

The WIS® framework translates this science into practical, workplace ready insight.

The Well-being Intelligence System® (WIS®)

Well-being Intelligence refers to a person’s capacity to:

  • recognize strain and stress signals early
  • regulate under pressure
  • maintain relational stability
  • adapt behavior in complex environments

WIS® was designed to make this intelligence visible, measurable, and actionable — for individuals, teams, and organizations.

Unlike traditional wellness models, WIS® does not assess isolated symptoms. It maps how multiple dimensions interact and amplify one another.

The Nine Dimensions of WIS®

Why Integration Matters

Human resilience does not break down in one place.
It erodes when multiple dimensions fall out of alignment.

The WIS® framework assesses resilience across nine interconnected dimensions, reflecting how real people live and work:

  • Spiritual
  • Emotional
  • Interpersonal
  • Occupational
  • Physical
  • Social
  • Intellectual
  • Financial
  • Environmental

Each dimension influences the others.

For example:

  • Emotional strain impacts communication and judgment
  • Relational stress affects mental focus and performance
  • Occupational pressure amplifies physical and emotional depletion

WIS® captures this interdependence, rather than treating dimensions as separate checkboxes.

From Science to Application: The Currency of Resilience

The Currency of Resilience™ framework translates WIS® science into observable, measurable capacity

Just as financial currency reflects economic health, resilience currency reflects functional capacity under pressure.

This framework allows organizations to:

  • see where resilience is being spent, depleted, or replenished
  • understand which behaviors build or drain capacity
  • intervene early, before burnout, conflict, or disengagement escalate

The Resilience Index™

Turning Insight into Intelligence

Each individual receives a personal resilience profile, anchored in the WIS® dimensions. At the organizational level, these insights roll up into aggregated resilience indicators, never exposing individual data.

The Resilience Index™ allows leaders to:

  • identify early risk patterns
  • track change over time
  • evaluate the impact of interventions
  • make evidence based decisions about support and strategy

This is what powers:

  • dashboards and analytics
  • resilience mapping
  • progress tracking after coaching or intervention

Why This Matters for Organizations

Without a science based system:

  • interventions are generic
  • leaders rely on anecdotal signals
  • issues repeat under different labels

WIS® provides a unifying resilience science that connects:

  • individual experience
  • relational dynamics
  • leadership behavior
  • organizational conditions

All within one measurable ecosystem.

How This Connects to the Platform

The Resilience Intelligence Platform™ is the delivery engine for WIS® science.

It enables organizations to:

  • assess using WIS® methodology
  • translate results into resilience currencies
  • visualize patterns through dashboards
  • support behavior change through coaching and tracking

Science → Intelligence → Action → Sustainability
