During the last years, extensive and widespread debate about well-being at the research and development has been increased. Wellbeing at work as a phenomenon is modeled in many different ways and from different perspectives.

However, the individual employee well-being and development processes appear only rarely in concrete.

The digitally measured data of individual employee brings well-being concretely visible for development processes. This helps to be aware of and to follow their own well-being and working capacity, motivation and reduce the resistance to change. Also it helps strategic management for well-being at work.
