“Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, all achievement in real life grows.” ~Ben Stein

In January, I wrote about well-being as an overlooked need and how it could be used to attract new talent, based on desires and needs of new employees, as well as fulfilling openings in the business. The Stiglitz-Sen-Fitoussi Commission found the following objective measures necessary in measuring human well-being along the lines of the “eight key dimensions”:

  1. personal income, consumption and wealth;
  2. mortality and morbidity;
  3. educational enrollment, graduation rates, years completed, standardized test scores and expenditure on education;
  4. time spent on personal activities including paid and unpaid work, commuting, and leisure time;
  5. measures of housing;
  6. political voice (freedom of speech, dissent, and association) and governance (corruption, accountability, democracy, universal suffrage, and non-citizen rights);
  7. social connections (volunteer work, civic engagement, and the amount, nature, and breadth of connections generally);
  8. environment (econsystems health, access to environmental resources, individual exposure to pollutants);
  9. personal insecurity (crime, accidents, natural disasters); and
  10. economic insecurity (job security, illness and health issues, and global economic trends).

So, my question is: Well-being: If it’s measured, what will it achieve?

Owners, Executive and other Leaders are investigating a global world concerned about Sustainability, that type of understanding can be difficult to obtain.
