How Life Score™ measures career fulfillment
Open’s Life Score™ evaluates your emotional well-being alongside six other pillars: Mental, Physical, Social, Spiritual, Environmental, and Professional. Each month, you rate how you're doing in each area on a scale of 1–5, based on real-life indicators. Under the Professional pillar, Life Score™ examines career satisfaction, work-life integration, and the level of engagement and meaning you find in your work.
This monthly self-assessment provides an illustration of where you stand. Over time, it helps you see progress, setbacks, and patterns in your professional life. Do you feel energized by your work? Does stress consistently drain you? Life Score™ shows you where your attention is needed most, so you can make decisions and take action in alignment with your desire for change.
