The solution focuses on the complete person. Personal life and work life are connected. You are not only unwell in your work life but also in your personal life.
On its own, a lack of sleep does not trigger “red wellbeing” or contact with the response team. The aggregate responses to the 5 questions are the basis for the assessment of your level of wellbeing. The scientific model ensures that the balance of the responses is assessed without prejudice.
The questions in Howdy are converted into a score on a scale from 0 to 100. If you have a low score and/or a significant decrease in your score, this will trigger a certain feedback in the app and/or contact with the response team. A wellbeing score below 35 is marked as “red”. A wellbeing score between 35 and below 50 is marked as “yellow”. A wellbeing score above 50 is marked as “green”.
An important element of the science behind the questions is the effort to encourage a reflection over the last 14 days, so your response does not just apply to the day it is given. It also encourages you to reflect on your overall wellbeing—both privately and professionally
NO! All responses are anonymous to the company and are aggregated into anonymised statistics for use in the Howdy Portal. There has to be a minimum of 5 responses before we can show statistical data.
Poor wellbeing is typically a condition, which evolves over time, and it can be difficult to assess the level yourself. The Howdy measurements help visualise this development and subsequently helps to address problems at an early stage. Each month, the given responses are calculated into an aggregate wellbeing score for your team or place of work, so your responses are important as part of the larger picture to make the reports as accurate as possible.
The 5 questions have been scientifically tested around the world, and have proven to be very precise. The scientific basis is specifically based on these 5 questions, also known as WHO-5

It is optimal if you participate with intervals of approximately 2 weeks, as experience shows that 2 weeks is the optimal period of time for reflection and provides the best overview of the evolution of your wellbeing.
