WorkL
Lord Mark Price launched WorkL, back in 2017, along with WorkL For Business which now helps over 1,000 businesses globally improve the happiness and engagement of their teams and has seen over 1.5 million individuals globally take the free Happy At Work Test which helps people determine how happy they are in their current job.
WorkL currently operates award programmes in the UK, Ireland, Australia, the USA, Kenya, Egypt, Luxembourg, South Africa, the Philippines, the UAE and India.
The test, featuring 31 questions, is centred around Lord Mark Price’s widely approved employee engagement theory: Six Steps to Workplace Happiness, which includes Reward & Recognition, both of which are integral to retaining and acquiring talent. Developed by behavioural scientists, data analysts, psychologists, business leaders, academics and other independent parties, the survey accurately monitors employee engagement and wellbeing in the workplace.
To achieve a high overall engagement score, a company must consistently perform well across its Sixtep framework, encompassing: Reward and Recognition, Instilling Pride, Information Sharing, Empowerment, Wellbeing and Job Satisfaction. Each of WorkL’s Six Steps consists of between three and five key elements, which are measured on a scale from 0-10.
