Well Workplace Checklist FAQ

The Well Workplace Checklist is designed for all wellness professionals, whether they are taking it for their own organization or for a client organization.

What is the Well Workplace Checklist ?
The Well Workplace Checklist is a 150-question, interactive worksite wellness assessment that measures whether your wellness initiative is on track to generate the results you care about. It leverages the 7 Benchmarks: A Framework for a Well Workplace to support strategic initiatives and a culture of wellness. It can also help prepare you for the Well Workplace Award application.

Do I have to be a member of the Wellness Alliance to use the Well Workplace Checklist?

To access the Well Workplace Checklist, you must be a Wellness Alliance member organization. This means you must have at least one representative from your organization with an active Wellness Alliance membership. 

If you are a consultant with an active Wellness Alliance membership, you can take the Checklist on behalf of your client.

To become a member, please visit our Benefits of Membership page.

How many times can I take the Checklist?
You can complete up to two Checklists in a calendar year, though we recommend taking it once a year to track your wellness initiative’s progress. Your Checklist report can help you measure improvements over time.
Can I take the Checklist for multiple organizations?
The Well Workplace Checklist automatically allows you to take the Checklist for two separate organizations. If you are consulting with multiple organizations and would like to have access to additional Checklists, please contact us at [email protected].

I'm new to my organization, but I know we've already taken a Checklist.

We’ve recently moved to a new system with updated features for the Well Workplace Checklist. As a result, we no longer have access to Checklist data from the previous system. We encourage you to complete the Checklist in the new platform, where your responses will be saved for three years.

For your own records, we always recommend saving a copy of your responses in your organization’s system for future reference. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact us at [email protected].
How long does it take to complete the Checklist?
The time needed to complete the Checklist varies by organization, and you can start and stop as needed. The Well Workplace Checklist toolkit offers resources to help you prepare, and you can easily collaborate with others using the shared link feature.
I got interrupted while taking the Checklist. Can I save and come back?
The Checklist saves your progress automatically, so you can start and stop at any time. We also recommend keeping a copy of your responses in your own system for future reference. If you have any questions or need assistance, contact [email protected]. 
Can others within my organization help me complete the Checklist? 
The Checklist allows you to share specific questions with others using a shared link, making it easy to gather input as needed. The Well Workplace Checklist toolkit also includes a PDF with the full set of questions that you and others within your organization can use to prepare for and complete the Checklist.
What happens when I'm finished with the Checklist?
Once complete, you’ll receive a customized report and an executive summary with recommendations to improve your score and strengthen your workplace wellness strategy.
I forgot my password, how do I reset it?

If you are having trouble receiving our emails you may need to add us to your allow list. Allow listing must take place at two levels: At the server level and at the recipient's desktop level.

How can I use the Checklist to consult with my client on their wellness strategy?

Once complete, you’ll receive a customized report and an executive summary with recommendations to improve the  score and strengthen your workplace wellness strategy. You can download and print a copy of the report and review it electronically or face to face with your client.

Does the Checklist provide year-over-year trends?
Yes. We recommend each organization take the Checklist once a year so the wellness initiative's progress can be tracked over time. The Checklist report can help you measure year-over-year improvements.
