The idea of a wellbeing audit can feel daunting at first, or even a massive pain in the rear-end. For some, the thought of analysing workplace culture and identifying areas for improvement sounds like a big undertaking. But in practice, the experience of conducting a wellbeing audit is often a positive and refreshing change. In fact, many of my clients say that working together on their wellbeing audit has been one of the most rewarding parts of their role.
Take, for example, a recent client in the housing industry…
At first, they approached the audit with a sense of apprehension, concerned about uncovering too many “problems” to fix. But as we started, they realised the audit wasn’t about finding faults; it was about exploring possibilities. They saw the process as an opportunity to learn about their team, uncover strengths, and take meaningful action. By the end of the audit, they found renewed pride in their work and were excited to implement changes that genuinely resonated with their team.
In a recent report by the CIPD…
87% of leaders who carried out wellbeing audits reported a noticeable improvement in team morale and engagement. This positive experience extends beyond mere data collection—it creates a sense of purpose. Many leaders report that the process encourages conversations they don’t often get to have, allowing employees to share what truly matters to them in the workplace. By listening to their team’s needs, they build trust and drive a deeper sense of connection across all levels of the organisation.
How can a wellbeing audit be a positive experience?
The key is to approach the audit as a collaborative journey rather than an assessment. Each audit involves meaningful conversations, team insights, and collaborative solutions that enhance organisational culture. Rather than simply pointing out areas for improvement, a wellbeing audit helps uncover the strengths that already exist. Leaders are often surprised by the positive feedback they receive and by the motivation it ignites within their team. The process reinforces the idea that every employee’s wellbeing matters, strengthening commitment and pride within the company.
