Measure the quality of work life
Quality of life at work: an actual concern
You certainly have heard of it … Whether in the press, or in major national medias, “the quality of work life” or QWL: is what they all talk about. But, what does that circumlocution mean ? Is it a synonym of comfort ? Is it a synonym of a great work life environment or of a new organization of work ? Or is it a global approach that everyone in the company is concerned ?
Why so much interest in QWL ?
The recent interest in this topic comes from the awareness that employee engagement is a source of performance and innovation for the company. The premise says: “if collaborators feel comfortable in their workstation, in their company, they work efficiently.”
It is then a compromise between specific interests of employees and healthy performance of the organization.
What are the objectives of a quality of work life approach ?
To find a compromise between the individual and collective interest of employees and company efficiency, a quality of life at work approach is a systemic approach that has several objectives :
- Engage employees and engage their commitment to the work environment.
- Re-enforce coherence of negotiations and social dialogue to reach agreements on topics such as: professional equality, working time and mobility.
- Manage performance in a different way, considering the company’s social challenges and no longer just productivity objectives.

A definition of quality of work life
-
Quality of work life can be defined as a collective or individual feeling of wellbeing at work. It’s a multidimensional notion that concede concrete and material aspects such as: working time, salary, premises or time spent in transports with relational aspects such as: work environment, respect, gratitude and meaning or interest of work.
Sur le sujet de l'égalité professionnelle et la qualité de vie au travail, la définition donnée par l'ANI (accord national interprofessionnel signé en juin 2013) est la suivante : « Les conditions dans lesquelles les salariés exercent leur travail et leur capacité à s’exprimer et à agir sur le contenu de celui-ci déterminent la perception de la qualité de vie au travail qui en résulte ».
