What is Wellbeing?

The World Health Organisation defines mental health as ‘a state of wellbeing in which every individual realises his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully and is able to make a contribution to her or his community.  But just what is wellbeing?

Renowned psychologist Martin Seligman views positive emotion, feelings of engagement, supportive and positive relationships, a strong sense of meaning and feelings of accomplishment as important building blocks of wellbeing.  Fortunately, we can learn practical skills and strategies that can assist us in achieving and maintaining wellbeing over time. 

Wellbeing is a process in time and is impacted by important mental, emotional, social, and physical factors.  By reflecting on our wellbeing states daily, we increase our self-awareness through self-reflection, thus providing us with an opportunity to make simple adjustments that can help purposefully manage our wellbeing over time. Allowing our wellbeing to decline without purposeful action can eventually lead to more difficult and chronic issues that can often prove more difficult to resolve.

Drawing on years of research and our experience within professional sports, the team at Hoap has worked closely with our team of experts to develop the specific metrics used within the platform that allow leaders and talent to better understand wellbeing trends, while allowing the talent and leaders in your organisation to become more self aware to ensure they are their best selves.

Wellbeing & Performance Elevated!
