The Work Frame™
A practical reflection tool for understanding how people experience work today
Purpose
The Work Frame™ helps individuals and teams see work as a lived experience—where Performance, Learning, and Enjoyment interact to shape results, growth, and energy.
Rather than measuring personality or motivation, it reveals how work feels and functions today—a clear, actionable snapshot of work sustainability.
The three dimensions:
Performance – results and outcomes that matter.
Learning – capacity growth through curiosity, challenge, and adaptation.
Enjoyment – meaning and connection that sustain motivation and renewal.
Why it matters
When performance, learning, and enjoyment are in balance, work feels smoother. Effort comes more naturally and has a clear purpose. Instead of stressing, people meet challenges with curiosity. They have more steady energy, adapt faster, connect better, and hit goals more often—because nothing is working against them. This balance turns everyday effort into energized results. That’s what sustainable engagement looks like.
How it works
1) Take the 5-minute self-assessment — A brief, practical self-assessment measures the Presence Level of each dimension—how consistently Performance, Learning, and Enjoyment show up in daily work.
2) Get your Work Frame Report — See your Presence Levels and your Work Sustainability Index™—how well results, growth, and energy reinforce one another over time:
- Fragile – sustainability at risk; one or more dimensions show low presence.
- Developing – some friction; awareness and small adjustments restore steadiness.
- Sustainable – generally aligned and renewable.
- Enduring – consistently reinforcing; performance renews itself.
Who it’s for
This is for anyone who wants steady progress without burnout—more clarity, more capacity, and more energy for the work that matters. It’s about expanding potential, sustaining engagement, and bringing fulfillment back by leading your own engagement within environments you can’t fully control.
