Detailed analysis across all five dimensions. One example shown.
DIMENSION 1: PHYSICAL WELLBEING
Physical Wellbeing captures your body's capacity to sustain work demands — measuring workspace comfort, sleep restoration, energy sustainability, movement patterns, and recovery practices.
You scored 4.0/10
What this measures
Whether your physical workspace supports comfort and focus, or creates strain and distraction.
My workspace allows me to work without physical pain or discomfort
Persistent Discomfort
Discomfort shows up most days and builds through the afternoon. It isn't stopping you working, but it's pulling attention away from the work itself, and it follows you past the end of the day. Left unaddressed, this pattern tends to escalate rather than settle.
What You Can Do
Note when the discomfort starts and what you were doing. Adjust the two things with the largest effect first — screen height relative to eye line, and chair support at the lower back. If it persists past a fortnight, raise it as an equipment question rather than a personal one.
What works
Organisations that redesigned workstations and built short movement breaks into the working hour saw substantial reductions in reported strain within three months.
You scored 6.5/10
What this measures
Whether you get restorative sleep and maintain steady energy throughout your workday, or struggle with fatigue and depletion.
I consistently get good quality sleep that leaves me feeling rested
Inconsistent Recovery
Some mornings you wake refreshed, others you feel unrested despite adequate hours. Sleep is fragmented or non-restorative, creating unpredictable performance across the week.
What You Can Do
Track your sleep for two weeks and look for the pattern behind the bad nights.
You scored 5.5/10
What this measures
Whether your work rhythm includes adequate breaks and movement, or keeps you static and overworked without recovery.
This continues for all fifteen sub-dimensions
Every one gets this depth, generated from your own answers. The full report runs to roughly forty pages.
Take the AssessmentDIMENSION 2: DIGITAL WELLBEING
Digital Wellbeing captures technology's multifaceted impact on your physical body, social connections, and mental capacity. PLX 5D is the only assessment framework treating Digital Wellbeing as an independent dimension — recognising that screen-mediated work creates unique physical, social, and psychological challenges that cannot be captured by generic "work-life balance" questions.
You scored 5.5/10
What this measures
Whether digital work creates physical strain — eye fatigue, neck pain, shoulder tension, headaches, or postural damage. Screen-mediated work places unique demands on your visual system and musculoskeletal structure that generic ergonomic assessments miss.
I can work on screens without significant eye strain or fatigue
Excellent Eye Health
You've figured out the visual setup most workers miss. Your ability to work on screens without eye fatigue shows you have good monitor positioning, proper lighting, regular breaks, and possibly blue light management. This protects you from early vision problems, chronic dry eyes, and the headaches common in screen-heavy jobs.
Keep This Going
Write down your exact setup — monitor distance, brightness settings, break timing, eye drops if you use them — and stick to it even during deadlines when you're tempted to skip breaks.
You scored 4.7/10
What this measures
Whether digital communication sustains genuine connection with colleagues and people outside work, or substitutes thin contact for real relationship.
I feel socially connected to my colleagues through digital platforms
Thin Connection
Contact happens but connection doesn't. Messages are transactional, video calls are functional, and the informal exchanges that build trust have largely disappeared from your working relationships.
What You Can Do
Add one non-transactional exchange per week with a colleague you only ever message about work.
You scored 6.4/10
This continues for all fifteen sub-dimensions
Every one gets this depth, generated from your own answers. The full report runs to roughly forty pages.
Take the AssessmentDIMENSION 3: EMOTIONAL CONNECTION
Emotional Connection captures the quality of interpersonal relationships, psychological safety, trust, and authentic human connection at work. When emotional connection thrives, work transforms from transactional task completion into meaningful human collaboration where people feel known, valued, and psychologically safe to contribute fully.
You scored 6.3/10
What this measures
Whether you can admit mistakes, ask questions, and speak up honestly without fearing blame or embarrassment. Teams with high psychological safety treat errors as learning opportunities — teams without it punish honesty, forcing people to hide problems until they become crises.
I can share mistakes without being judged
Exceptional Psychological Safety
You freely admit errors knowing they'll be treated as learning opportunities. This openness creates an environment where problems surface early, lessons spread fast, and innovation flourishes because people aren't afraid to try new things.
Keep This Going
Protect psychological safety by continuing to model mistake-sharing yourself. Watch for signs of erosion: new team members hesitant to speak up, leadership changes bringing blame-focused culture, or busy periods where mistakes get swept under pressure.
You scored 6.8/10
What this measures
Whether you have colleagues you can turn to when work gets hard, and whether you feel you belong to the team rather than merely working alongside it.
I have colleagues I can turn to for emotional support when needed
Present But Narrow
Support exists but rests on one or two relationships. That works until those people are unavailable, on leave, or leave the organisation entirely.
What You Can Do
Widen the base before you need it. One more genuine working relationship changes the resilience of the whole picture.
You scored 8.4/10
This continues for all fifteen sub-dimensions
Every one gets this depth, generated from your own answers. The full report runs to roughly forty pages.
Take the AssessmentDIMENSION 4: EDUCATIONAL GROWTH
Educational Growth measures your access to learning opportunities, whether your work provides the right level of challenge, and clarity about your career path. Humans psychologically need challenge, mastery, and progress — when growth stagnates, even meaningful work becomes draining because our fundamental need to evolve goes unmet.
You scored 9.7/10
What this measures
Whether your organisation provides actual learning and development programs you can access and use. When learning access is high, growth opportunities are available and supported — when it's low, you're expected to develop yourself entirely on your own time and money.
My organization provides strong learning and development opportunities
Excellent Learning Access
Your organisation provides strong development opportunities. Access isn't enough — actually using it matters — but availability signals organisational commitment to growth.
Keep This Going
Access unused is wasted. Schedule learning time proactively and treat development with the same priority as meetings. Watch for access erosion during busy periods when development gets deprioritised.
You scored 6.9/10
What this measures
Whether your work sits in the band between boredom and overwhelm, where difficulty matches capability closely enough to produce absorption.
My work provides the right level of difficulty, neither too easy nor too hard
Mostly Matched
Difficulty is broadly right, with periods that tip into either coasting or strain. The pattern usually tracks workload rather than the work itself.
What You Can Do
Note which tasks produce absorption and which produce clock-watching. The ratio matters more than any single week.
You scored 7.7/10
This continues for all fifteen sub-dimensions
Every one gets this depth, generated from your own answers. The full report runs to roughly forty pages.
Take the AssessmentDIMENSION 5: PURPOSE & SUSTAINABILITY
Purpose & Sustainability captures whether your work feels meaningful, aligns with your core values, and provides both financial security and sustainable impact. When purpose erodes, even high compensation cannot prevent burnout — meaning and financial security must coexist for sustainable wellbeing.
You scored 5.7/10
What this measures
The congruence between your personal principles and your organisation's values, mission, and practices.
My personal values align with my organization's values
Significant Values Misalignment
You likely experience regular situations where organisational decisions contradict your principles, forcing you to either compromise your values or create internal conflict. Every day you work in contradiction to your principles creates a split between who you are and what you do that shows up as cynicism or detachment.
What You Can Do
Identify your top three non-negotiable values, then write one recent example where work forced you to compromise each. You can't address misalignment until you name it specifically.
You scored 4.5/10
What this measures
Whether your work connects to something beyond the paycheck, or whether the link between effort and purpose has gone quiet.
My work has meaning beyond just getting a paycheck
Meaning Has Thinned
The work gets done and done well, but the reason behind it has receded. This rarely announces itself; it shows up as reduced discretionary effort long before it shows up as dissatisfaction.
What You Can Do
Trace one piece of your work to the person it eventually reaches. Meaning is usually still there, just further away than it used to be.
You scored 7.1/10
This continues for all fifteen sub-dimensions
Every one gets this depth, generated from your own answers. The full report runs to roughly forty pages.

"What made a great difference for me as an owner was the PLX 5D Experience Wheel. It doesn't just measure how someone is doing. The '5' stands for five dimensions of a person's work experience, from physical energy to emotional state and beyond, and seeing all five side by side shows exactly where the strain sits, before it turns into burnout. And the report doesn't stop at the diagnosis; it offers actionable, kaizen-style solutions attached to each dimension. For me as a leader, that's invaluable. I can see patterns across the team without having to pry, and step in with the right kind of support instead of guessing. For the team, it's even more valuable: it gives each person a private, honest mirror and a next step, so they can catch themselves early and help themselves before I ever need to say a word."
"I brought this Human Algorithm Program and Dr. Cado in not because we had a communication problem, but because I believe this business is built on small human moments. A coordinator sensing what a client isn't saying, a teammate noticing a colleague running low before it becomes a real issue. We host groups from the US, Germany, Japan, the Gulf, sometimes all in the same month, and that sensitivity matters even more. What builds trust with one group can read completely differently with another. Responsibility is a value I hold personally, and it means paying attention to my team's wellbeing, not just their performance. It's also made me more honest about why I do this job. Never really about flawless events, always about building something where people feel trusted and taken care of, wherever in the world they're coming from."
"PLX Education helped me recognize the real value of this kind of training. It's not something you pick up just by being good at logistics. What stood out was learning to separate what a client is actually asking for from what they need in that moment. When a bus is running late, they say 'just fix it,' but what actually calms them down is knowing exactly what's happening and when, before the fix is even in place. That's not a logistics skill, it's a reading-people skill, and it's changed how I open every disruption conversation."
"In this industry, the plan can change at 11pm the night before the event, and it happens quite often. What the PLX education gave me wasn't a way to avoid pressure, it was a way to stay clear-headed inside it. I learned to separate 'this is urgent' from 'this is a crisis,' and to communicate calmly with the team and the client even when three things are going wrong at once. Uncertainty doesn't disappear in this job. Your relationship with it does."
"The PLX 5D Experience Wheel gave me an actual way to see where I stand, instead of just pushing through a hard day and hoping it evens out. During peak season, it showed me my values score was still strong, but my physical energy and team connection were quietly dropping without me noticing. And it came with something concrete to do about it, not just a number telling me I was tired."
"Seeing the emotional and physical dimensions side by side on the PLX 5D Experience Wheel made it obvious when one was quietly draining the other."
"The most valuable aspect was the insightful breakdown of my profile, which helped me better understand my behavior, emotional responses, and decision-making patterns. Seeing how my results evolve over time and getting updated insights on my strengths and development areas would make me want to use PLX 5D again in the future."
"I am amazed by the accuracy of the PLX 5D assessment. I would repeat it, sure. From curiosity, to check if I managed to make progress in any of the dimensions."
