5 dimensions, 45 sub-dimensions, 200+ predictors
We define well-being as “the experience of mental and physical health and the sense of meaning, self-fulfilment and social-connectedness.”
Quan’s evidence-based well-being framework consists of 5 dimensions:
- Mind (an individual’s perception of their thoughts and feelings)
- Body (an individual’s perception of their physical condition)
- Social-connectedness (an individual’s perception of having close interpersonal relationships)
- Meaning (an individual’s perception of their life having purpose, value and coherence)
- Self-fulfilment (an individual’s perception of fulfillment of their potential and talents).
The 5 dimensions are further broken down into 45 sub-dimensions, which measure aspects of well-being belonging in each dimension. Well-being is holistic so Quan measures these areas across general, work, and personal life. In addition, there are 200+ predictors, which identify potential causes behind well-being growth opportunities.
We developed our framework based on a literature review of 150+ scientific papers and conversations with over 50 global experts (including doctors, psychologists and therapists, among others).
At Quan, we place science at the heart of well-being so we have partnered with King’s Business School (King’s College London) to validate our Quan Holistic Well-being Assessment and test the efficacy of interventions to support the well-being of individuals and teams.
