You are not supposed to - or expected - to improve all 8 drivers every month. But how do you then know where to put your focus to improve the team’s overall well-being?

How to use the team reports (well-being, stress and drivers).
We don’t want you to spend a lot of time analyzing the ups and downs in driver scores to determine where to focus after each measurement. Also, the answer is not necessarily to focus on the driver with the lowest score. Why?
Because to each of us as individuals, some drivers are more important for our well-being than others. Therefore our recommendation tool serves as a way to identify the lowest-hanging fruits in terms of improving well-being in the team. We find out each of the driver’s importance via our algorithm based on the control question number 11: “Overall, how satisfied are you with your job?”.
<aside> 👉🏻 Here is an example:
One measurement, Sara scores high on Social and also high on her overall job satisfaction. Then next measurement, something happened in the workplace that influenced her social relationships negatively so she scored low on Social and also on her overall satisfaction. This informs the algorithm that to Sara, Social is important, because it has an impact on her overall satisfaction. Also, if Sara scores low on Development without it impacting her overall satisfaction, the algorithm then know that Development is not as important to her well-being as Social.
This is what we call driver’s importance.

So, over time the algorithm gathers all of this data from all employees in the segment to understand the driver’s importance. However, when recommending you to focus on a specific driver, it still takes into account how much the score can be improved.
So, when hovering over a driver in the Zoios Platform, you will see these dots:
Let’s break it down.
Driver's importance measures how important a specific driver is for the employees in a given segment, e.g., the marketing team. An employee's perceived well-being is constituted of the eight well-being drivers, but naturally, some drivers are more important than others, and this varies from team to team. Hence, we are looking to improve the well-being driver(s) that are most important to the employees in the given team, as this will have the most significant positive impact on overall perceived well-being.
Looking at the above illustration, Optimism has a Driver's importance score of 2. But what does this mean?
To give you an accessible overview of the importance of the drivers, we turned the math and the numbers behind the calculations into four dots. Behind the dots are the following numbers ranging from 1-100.
