workplace culture Wellness Health Check

Getting Started

Why Complete a Wellness Health check?

When we’re developing new processes, we often don’t adequately define the problems we’re attempting to solve and therefore aren’t able to articulate why those issues are important.

When this happens, we may miss opportunities, waste resources, and even end up pursuing solutions that aren’t aligned with our strategies. We need to become better at asking the right questions so we tackle the right problems.

The Workplace Culture Wellness Health Check will help you to:

Discover Your Organisation’s Wellness Report

Working to improve all three themes at once may feel overwhelming, so we encourage you to undertake the Workplace Culture Wellness Health Check to narrow down which areas of the three themes will be your first area of focus.

The Workplace Culture Wellness Health Report you receive upon completion of this survey will provide you with valuable information that includes:

• Your organisation’s Workplace Culture Wellness Score

• A summary of your organisation’s performance in Constructive and Committed Leadership; Culture and Connection; and Communication and Participation

• A breakdown of your performance in each of the three key themes.

Complete the Workplace Culture Wellness Health Check to determine your organisation’s Workplace Culture Wellness Report. Your Workplace Culture Wellness Report will help you evaluate how well your organisation supports mental health and wellness in the workplace, and provides you with a benchmark to track and evaluate the success of your activities to improve wellness in your workplace.

Identify Your Areas of Focus

The Workplace Culture Wellness Health Check will also help you to determine which areas of The Integrated Framework you should focus on initially, to really drive results.

The Integrated Framework breaks down the areas of focus into three key themes:

1. Constructive and Committed Leadership
   Ensuring your leaders demonstrate the skills and behaviours that will drive results for your organisation, and the commitment to set and work to achieve goals to improve workplace mental health and wellness.
   

2. Culture and Connection
   Setting your organisation up to succeed, by crafting and outlining your desired culture, with leaders who can connect the broader business to the vision.
   

3. Communication and Participation
   Empowering your people to drive results through regular and relevant communication that encourages participation and engagement in the vision.

Before You Start…

As you prepare to conduct your Workplace Culture Wellness Health Check, you will need to factor in the time it may take you to find out some of the information we will ask you about. This may include:

• Searching for information or processes on your organisation’s intranet site or file management system

• Meeting with members of your Human Resources Department, Learning & Development Team, Operations Team, etc.

• Facilitating discussions with your organisation’s leadership team

• Surveying your organisation’s employees.

You should allow between 30 and 60 minutes to complete the Workplace Culture Wellness Health Check questions, plus the time you’ll need to find the information through searches and discussions.

For this reason, you can bookmark your place in the Workplace Culture Wellness Health Check at any point, and return to complete it at a later time.

It’s important not to rush the process, and the real value comes from undertaking an honest and thorough review of your organisation’s processes and practices.
