The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Worker Well-Being Questionnaire (NIOSH WellBQ) was designed to help employers, among others, understand the well-being of workers and target interventions to improve worker well-being.

According to NIOSH, “anyone interested in understanding or improving worker well-being may find the NIOSH WellBQ helpful.”
