New technique to measure employee happiness: Normative-Ipsative split technology ®
Burnout often occurs because the signs of unhappy employees are not noticed in time by the employer. Standard work happiness tests are simply not good at detecting preliminary stages of burnout. As a result, employees continue to work with complaints until burnout eventually develops.
For this reason, TestGroup has developed a technique that uses artificial intelligence to adapt the questions in the test to the client's answers. This technique is called Normative-Ipsative split technology®. With this AI-based technique, The Bridge Happiness at Work Indicator ensures that you get an honest answer to the questions.

How can a work happiness test help prevent burnout?
-
A work happiness test can help employers recognise early warning signs of stress and reduced wellbeing. Employees who experience low job satisfaction or declining energy may be at greater risk of burnout. The Bridge Happiness at Work Indicator measures both work happiness and burnout-related symptoms, allowing organisations to identify concerns early and take appropriate action. The test does not diagnose burnout.
-
What is the difference between a work happiness test and an employee satisfaction survey?
-
An employee satisfaction survey usually asks employees how satisfied they are with their job, manager or working conditions. A work happiness test looks more closely at the psychological factors that influence happiness at work. TestGroup's The Bridge Happiness at Work Indicator measures engagement, vitality and job satisfaction using a structured assessment. This provides more detailed individual insights than a general satisfaction survey.

How do you measure happiness at work scientifically?

Happiness at work can be measured using psychological questionnaires that assess specific aspects of employee wellbeing.

The results are presented as scores that can be compared with a reference group, helping employers understand an employee's level of workplace happiness.
-
Is The Bridge Happiness at Work Indicator scientifically developed?
-
Yes. The Bridge Happiness at Work Indicator was developed using psychological research into workplace happiness and its four underlying dimensions.

TestGroup uses these results to provide employers with insights into workplace wellbeing. The assessment is intended to support HR decisions and is not a medical diagnostic instrument.
-
Can a work happiness test identify employees at risk of burnout?
-
A work happiness test can identify patterns associated with an increased risk of burnout, such as low energy and reduced work satisfaction. The Bridge Happiness at Work Indicator also includes measures of burnout-related symptoms. Employers can use these results to start conversations about workload and wellbeing. However, a test result alone cannot establish whether an employee has burnout or predict with certainty whether burnout will develop.
-
What does the work happiness test report show?
-
The Bridge Happiness at Work Indicator report provides an overall work happiness score and separate scores for the four dimensions of workplace happiness. It also includes an overall burnout score and scores for four burnout-related dimensions. Individual results are compared with a norm group of 500 people. This helps employers understand where an employee is doing well and where additional support may be useful.
-
How can HR managers improve employee happiness?
-
HR managers can improve employee happiness by understanding what employees need to perform well and feel satisfied at work. A work happiness test provides useful information about engagement and workplace wellbeing. Based on the results, employers can review workloads, improve working conditions or offer additional support. Repeating the assessment can help organisations evaluate whether their improvements are making a difference.
-
Is a work happiness test suitable for remote and hybrid employees?
-
Yes. The Bridge Happiness at Work Indicator is completed entirely online, making it suitable for employees working remotely, in the office or in hybrid roles. The assessment helps employers understand how employees experience their work, regardless of where they work. This can be particularly useful when managers have limited daily contact with their teams.
