How do various groups differ?
Differences in some of the demographic groupings amongst participants that completed WLQ are apparent. Together with analysis of the Workplace Health Index (the WHI measures organisational factors that contribute to healthy employee functioning), these findings provide valuable information for corporate organisations to design inclusive wellbeing strategies, based on evidence-based measures.
NOTE: We utilised the Standardised Mean Difference (SMD) to report large effect sizes as follows: SMD values of 0.2 to 0.5 are considered small, 0.5 to 0.8 are considered medium, and greater than 0.8 are considered large. Only large effect sizes were reported, with the exception of Male/ Female split where medium effect sizes were also reported).Executives vs Team Members
