The survey costs $695 for the base package, and $2,099 for the full package (survey+badges).
The survey includes 16 questions + 6 demographic questions. Employees generally take 3-5 minutes to complete the survey.
If a group fails to meet the minimum threshold of surveys needed to assess eligibility, they are allowed a two-week extension in order to get more responses. If a group fails to meet the standard of the highest level (Certified) they can retake the survey 6 months later.
The survey is currently only available in English, but we hope to add more languages in future years.
The certification is built upon our proprietary digital balance data standard: a 16-question survey that measures: 1) Screen Balance, 2) Digital Inclusion and Belonging, and 3) Digital Boundaries. Each of these categories further maps to 5 of the 8 dimensions of the scientifically supported Digital Flourishing Wheel™ to measure Mental Health, Physical Health, Relationships, Digital Citizenship, and Communication. Your company’s Digital Balance™ score is robustly related to measurable business outcomes of burnout, turnover intention, job stress, depression, sleep, work-well-being zoom fatigue, and work and team resilience.
Employees respond to survey items on a five-point scale, reflecting their personal experiences and perceptions. From there, we calculate the average scores to present an organization-wide view of your digital work culture, culminating in the Digitally Balanced™ Workplace Score. This score is more than a number; it's a reflection of your organization's ability to harmonize productivity with a thriving workplace environment in the digital age. We provide a list of the “Top 100” ranking organizations to our partners at Fast Company, who will publish the list on their website.
