Frequently asked questions

The Wellness Report (TWR) is a comprehensive workplace wellness assessment tool that collects information from employees from an online survey. It measures physical, psychological, financial, and organizational health and wellness, as well as the connection between individual and organizational health.

The results provide a detailed report offering a comprehensive overview of your organization’s health and wellness.

If you do the survey annually, you'll be able to measure your progress and see how the changes you've implemented could be influencing your employees and organization's health and wellness.

  1. Start by registering your organization using a quick online form.
  2. Once registered, you’ll receive free access to the toolkit centre that includes advice, customizable templates, and materials to help you create your internal promotional campaign.
  3. Share the survey with your employees using these resources to launch and promote the survey.
  4. Employees will complete the survey via the provided link, shared by your organization. Upon completion, they will receive a Personal Health report offering insights into 5 key dimensions of holistic health and wellbeing including physical, psychological, financial and organizational health and wellness, as well as the connection between individual and organizational health.
  5. During the survey period, send regular reminders to encourage employee participation. You’ll receive updates showing employee participation rates to help you monitor your organization’s progress.
  6. Approximately 4-6 weeks after the survey closes, you’ll receive a comprehensive Organizational Health report. This will provide insights into your organization’s health and wellness, and actionable suggestions for improving health and productivity.

Any Manulife Group Benefits or Canada Retirement client can participate. There are no restrictions on the number of employees, and it doesn’t matter how many products they have with Manulife.

Organizations will receive report results when a minimum of 25 participants have completed the survey. This helps preserve employee privacy and confidentiality.

Employees can participate as long as they are 18 years of age or older. They don’t need to be members of a Manulife plan either. Employees that have opted out of Manulife products or who are not eligible because of their employment status (part-time, contract) can also take the survey.

The Organizational Health report gives you a comprehensive picture of your organization’s health based on survey responses. The report includes all appendices and references. It's easy to follow with clear, highlighted outcomes. Including:

  • participation rates
  • an executive dashboard
  • a few pages per subject complete with visuals and graphics, highlighted results, and short educational content to help you understand and interpret results
  • a calculation of your organization's productivity loss
  • a breakdown of participant demographic information
  • best practices and evidence guidelines
  • definitions and references

Upon registration, you will receive a link to send to employees allowing you to launch the survey. You will also be informed of the survey end date for this cycle, which serves as the deadline for employees to complete the survey. Before distributing the link, we recommend exploring the resources on this page to ensure your communication tools are ready to go. Additionally, we suggest giving your employees at least 4 weeks to complete the survey, but you should adjust this timeframe based on your organization's needs and calendar.

*If an employer would like to offer extra incentives for survey participation, additional fees may apply.
