Supporting SA workplaces to thrive
Everyone deserves to work in a place where their health and wellbeing matter. We all know that prevention is better than cure. Healthy workplaces keep people well and help protect them from getting mentally and physically ill. Whether large or small, workplaces are realising the opportunities to create much healthier workplaces, where everyone is heard and can play their part in designing work and creating a supportive workplace environment and culture.
Step 1: Get workplace leaders to commit
The most successful health and wellbeing programs are those which have the support of leaders.
Step 2: Learn about your workplace
Now that you’ve got everyone on board, it’s time to learn more about your work environment, and what your workers want.
Step 3: Involve your team
Your workplace health and wellbeing strategy isn’t going to be successful unless it is centred around your people.
Step 4: Plan for action
In this step, we’ll help develop an action plan to address your priority areas.
Step 5: Monitor and evaluate
Once you’ve got a workplace health and wellbeing strategy in place, it’s important to find out how well it’s running.
Step 6: Celebrate your achievements and review
It’s time to celebrate your efforts and the dedication and energy of people running your programs and activities.
