The challenge of maintaining work-life balance in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to a new phenomenon commonly referred to as the “New Normal”. In alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outlined in the 2030 Agenda, understanding this New Normal has prompted new efforts to enhance employee wellbeing, particularly with regard to work-life balance. In response, an assessment tool was developed to measure the work-life balance and wellbeing of manufacturing workers, grounded in the PERMA+4 model. The aim of this assessment is to extend beyond the manufacturing sector; it seeks to evaluate wellbeing in the manufacturing sector. It seeks to provide a scalable instrument that may be adapted for use across diverse industries. To ensure the reliability of the assessment, the member check method was employed to validate the questionnaire items. The findings revealed an overall average agreement of 78.2 percent among experts, indicating a strong consensus on the relevance and clarity of the assessment content. This high level of agreement affirms the significance of the questions and supports the relevance of the assessment tool. Furthermore, this assessment is expected to contribute meaningfully to the achievement of the SDG 2030 goals by promoting initiatives that support the wellbeing and work-life balance of workers in the manufacturing sector.
