I understand that the Work + Life Check and related support services are not therapy, mental health treatment, or clinical psychology services. They are informed by Industrial/Organizational Psychology and focus on experiences related to work, such as engagement, work demands, career direction, decision-making, and how work fits into everyday life.

What This Check Helps You See

The Work + Life Check gives you a closer look at how work is working for you right now across four areas:
- The Work Itself
- Work Conditions
- Demands & Capacity
- Work-Life Fit
The goal is to help you notice what is working well, where things may feel harder than they should, and what might be worth looking at more closely.

After the Check

You will receive results showing where work seems to fit you well and where you may be experiencing some friction.

You can use your results on your own or, if you want to dig a little deeper, explore additional guided resources or Work + Life support.
A few terms before we begin:

Work
The job, business, self-employment, or other ongoing work role you are evaluating. Choose one work situation and keep that same situation in mind throughout the Check.

Friction
A recurring point where something about your work does not fit well with what you need, want, or can realistically support.

Friction does not automatically mean something is wrong or that you need to make a major change. It simply tells you this may be worth looking at more closely.

Tradeoff

Something you knowingly accept in one area of work because it makes something else that matters to you possible.

A tradeoff can create friction and still be worth it. The important question is whether that tradeoff still makes sense for you.

Considering your work overall, do the tradeoffs you are making between what your work gives you, what it requires from you, and what you need from work and life still make sense for you right now?
When you consider what your work gives you, what it requires from you, and what you need from work and life, which tradeoffs still feel worthwhile to you, and which ones no longer do?

Work Itself Score
Work Itself
Work Itself Needs Attention

The work itself may not be fitting you particularly well right now.

Several aspects of what you actually do appear to be creating friction. That does not automatically mean you need different work. It does mean this is an important area to understand more clearly.
Work Itself has Some Friction

Some parts of the work fit. Others may not.

There may be a mismatch in the tasks you spend time on, how you use your abilities, your interest in the work, or how worthwhile the work feels to you. This may be worth looking at more closely.
Work Itself Indicating a Strong Fit

This part of your work appears to fit you well.

The work itself generally matches what you want to be doing and how you want to contribute. There may still be things you would change, but overall, the fit appears strong.
Work Conditions Score
Work Conditions
Work Conditions Need Attention

The way your work is set up may be making your work harder than it needs to be.

Several conditions appear to be a poor fit or may be interfering with your ability to work effectively.
Work Conditions have Some Friction

Some parts of your work setup may be getting in the way.

You may have enough of what you need in some areas while experiencing recurring friction around control, clarity, resources, support, or how the work is arranged.
Work Conditions Indicating a Strong Fit

Your work setup appears to support you well.

The conditions surrounding your work generally allow you to function effectively and work in ways that fit you.
Demands & Capacity Score
Demands & Capacity
Demands & Capacity Need Attention

Work may be asking for more than you can sustainably give right now.

The current demands appear to be exceeding your available time, energy, or capacity in meaningful ways. This is an area worth examining closely.
Demands & Capacity have Some Friction

You may be carrying more than feels comfortable or sustainable at times.

You are likely managing the demands, but workload, pace, recovery, or the amount of energy required may be creating recurring strain.
Demands & Capacity Indicating a Strong Fit

What work asks of you appears generally sustainable.

Work may still get busy or demanding, but the overall load appears manageable within your current capacity.
Work-Life Fit Score
Work-Life Fit
Work-Life Fit Needs Attention

The role work occupies in your life may no longer be working well for you.

Work appears to be interfering with important parts of your life or occupying more time, energy, or mental space than you want it to.
Work-Life Fit has Some Friction

Work may be taking more from the rest of your life than you would prefer.

Some parts of the relationship between work and the rest of your life are working, while others may involve recurring tension or tradeoffs.
Work-Life Fit Indicating a Strong Fit

Work appears to fit into your life in a way that works for you.

The role work occupies is generally compatible with the life you currently want and need.
