Communicate first
Tell employees why, assure anonymity, and explain what happens with results. Transparency drives response rates.
Collect responses
Allow 5–7 business days. One reminder at midpoint. Aim for 60%+ response rate.
Score & interpret
Each section scores 6–30. The guide maps every range to a risk level and recommended action.
Act on results
Every score range maps to a specific intervention. Low stress? Launch mindfulness. Low support? Train managers.
Repeat quarterly
Use the comparison scorecard. Track trends. Show leadership your initiatives are moving the needle.
Low scores? Here's what to do
Each finding maps directly to an intervention.
Low wellbeing
Launch a team wellness challenge focused on daily movement and mood tracking.
High stress
Start a 21-day mindfulness program. Even short programs show measurable impact.
Poor work-life balance
Review workload policies. Consider a "no after-hours email" pilot.
Low manager support
Run a "Manager's Guide to Team Wellness" training session.
Vantage Fit makes it easy to launch team wellness challenges that address specific survey findings — from step challenges to mindfulness programs.

Quarterly is ideal for tracking trends without survey fatigue. Annual surveys miss emerging issues. Use shorter pulse checks (5–8 questions) monthly for more frequent data.
60% or higher for reliable results. Below 40% and the data may not represent your full workforce. Communicate the purpose clearly and assure anonymity.
Yes. Keep at least 20 of the 30 questions unchanged for quarter-over-quarter comparison. Many teams print as-is first, then digitize in Google Forms or SurveyMonkey.
Low scores are a signal, not a failure. The action plan maps each score range to specific interventions. A low score in Workplace Stress tells you exactly where to focus your wellness budget.
The core 30 questions collect no personally identifiable information. The optional demographics section asks only for department, tenure range, and work arrangement. Always check with your legal team.
