Wellbeing Baselines
Wellbeing baselines provide a data driven approach to understand the needs of the people you impact.
For a targeted investment approach and to inform policy and program design for maximum impact.
Identifying priority needs with scientific, cultural and ehtical integrity.
Statistical Subjective Wellbeing Evaluation
Huber Social, has developed a universally applicable wellbeing measurement standard that recognises overall wellbeing in terms of subjective wellbeing, employing statistical analysis to identify driving capability and opportunity factors and their relative value to contribute to overall wellbeing.
Subjective wellbeing evaluation, along with practicing cultural safety, helps to ensure that priority needs are based on how the impacted people themselves are experiencing their lives, as opposed to external decision makers assuming or imposing cultural norms.
“At the beginning of our relationship with Huber Social, we were mindful of the cultural competency of an Australian organisation entering into Aotearoa – New Zealand. Te Tiriti o Waitangi is one of Trust Waikato’s strategic pou, so we were mindful of the reputational risk to Trust Waikato if Huber Social did not respect the unique relationship and position Māori hold in our community. We have been impressed with how Huber Social authentically approach their relationship with Māori, Pasifika and other cultures in our community.”
Case Study: atWork Australia Job Seeker Wellbeing Index
Huber Social was engaged by atWork Australia, to develop the atWork Australia Job Seeker Wellbeing Index to understand needs of job seekers to engage with, and sustain, employment.
Launched by the Assistant Minister for Youth & Employment Services, Luke Howarth, the Index revealed that across all jobseekers there are 5 consistent priority needs. The Index then identifies unique needs across 8 key subgroups (i) females (ii) First Nations peoples (iii) people living with disability, injury, or health condition (iv) youth (v) mature aged (vi) culturally and linguistically diverse (vii) refugees and (viii) people with prior justice system experience.
“What you have done with the wellbeing measures over the years is profound and has had a significantly positive impact on our children and young people.”
"We are understandably very proud of being recognised for our ‘outstanding work in assisting homeless and disadvantaged youth’ and wish to celebrate with the key people who made it all possible. Most notably, this is you, Huber Social."
