Miami, FL – February 14, 2025 — The Foundation for Talent Transformation has released a comprehensive whitepaper, A Comparative Study of Well-being Frameworks, providing an in-depth analysis of global well-being models and introducing a structured approach to help individuals thrive in an era of rapid change.
As organizations and policymakers increasingly focus on holistic well-being, this report examines key frameworks, including those developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Gallup, the PISA Well-being Framework, and Martin Seligman’s PERMA Model. In addition to these established models, the study highlights the Talent Transformation Well-being Framework, designed to support individuals navigating life transitions, workplace changes, and evolving social dynamics.
Key Findings from the Study:
Global Well-being Approaches: The WHO framework prioritizes equitable access to healthcare, education, and economic stability, aligning with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). OECD’s model, meanwhile, evaluates well-being through 11 dimensions, extending beyond GDP to include social and environmental factors.
Workplace and Educational Implications: Gallup’s framework identifies five key elements—career, social, financial, physical, and community well-being—as critical to workplace engagement and overall life satisfaction. Similarly, PISA’s model emphasizes students' holistic development, including their psychological and social well-being.
Talent Transformation’s Holistic Framework: The newly introduced Talent Transformation Well-being Framework provides a comprehensive approach that integrates six key domains: self-awareness, healthy relationships, career and personal pursuits, social engagement, fitness and health, and financial stability. By fostering self-awareness and resilience, this model equips individuals with the tools to navigate uncertainty and thrive in dynamic environments.
The Talent Transformation Well-being Framework emphasizes the critical role of self-awareness in helping individuals understand their emotions, values, and strengths. It promotes the development of healthy relationships through emotional intelligence and effective communication, supports career and personal pursuits that align with individual passions and values, and fosters social engagement to cultivate a strong sense of community and belonging. Additionally, it highlights fitness and health as essential components of long-term well-being and advocates for financial stability strategies that empower individuals to achieve security and independence.
"We believe well-being is not just about personal fulfillment but also resilience in a rapidly changing world," said Eric Shepherd, executive director of the Foundation for Talent Transformation. "Our study synthesizes the best insights from global frameworks and presents a holistic approach that individuals and organizations can apply to enhance their long-term success."
