The System
Measure. Understand. Act.
The GLWS System measures wellbeing, makes sense of what it finds, and shows you exactly what to do next – so individuals and organisations can protect health and performance, before issues take root.
What it is
The GLWS is a validated wellbeing assessment and development system. It gives individuals and organisations clear, evidence-based data on where wellbeing is strong and where it’s at risk – and just as importantly, a precise understanding of what to do about it. GLWS identifies the specific threats to wellbeing and performance, and the practical steps that will protect each person’s capacity to thrive, both personally and professionally.
How it works
A simple four-step process ensures GLWS deployment is friction-free:
Assessment → Personalised Reporting and Development Actions → Cohort Analysis → Stakeholder Review and Systems Management.
An individual and organisational intervention in one
There’s a limit to how much any one person can change on their own, because some of what shapes our wellbeing sits beyond individual control. This is where the GLWS does something other tools can’t.
Rather than viewing wellbeing as either an individual or organisational issue, the GLWS recognises both and the interplay between them. By analysing data across individuals, teams, cohorts and entire organisations, the GLWS reveals not just how each person is doing, but also what’s driving wellbeing at every level, what specifically needs to change, why, and where responsibility sits.
Benefits for individuals
Completing the GLWS and receiving personalised results gives each person a clear understanding of where their wellbeing stands and what it needs. The experience is linked to greater self-awareness and personal growth, stronger engagement and satisfaction at work and in life, and measurable gains in health, leadership impact and performance.
Benefits for organisations
Deployed across a team, cohort or wider initiative, the GLWS analyses the collective wellbeing of a group to surface the common themes, strengths and risks that no individual report could reveal. This gives leaders and practitioners a clear view of what’s happening at scale, and pinpoints what needs to change at both the individual and collective level, in the systems, environments and ways of working that shape wellbeing across the organisation.
The result
A single, reliable and valid assessment that works on two levels at once: helping individuals act on what they can control while simultaneously surfacing the issues that require a team, leadership or organisational response with clear systemic evidence to inform policy, wellbeing strategy and investment.

Two routes to access
There’s no single ‘right’ way to bring the GLWS into your work. Some organisations bring it entirely in-house by equipping their own People & Culture teams as accredited GLWS practitioners, deploying GLWS directly themselves, building internal wellbeing measurement and development capabilities, and integrating GLWS into their P&C strategy and functions, embedded across the business.
Others look to their trusted coaches and consulting partners to incorporate the GLWS as a specialised solution into a range of wellbeing, leadership, change, culture development services. Same validated system, two routes to deploy – choose the one or combination that fits, and we’ll take you to the right place.
