This World Mental Health Day the Minns Government is shining a light on the importance of workplace mental health and encouraging workplaces in NSW to minimise and prevent psychological harm at work.
A mentally healthy workplace is a great place to work, where a positive culture and engaged staff create an environment where there is better productivity and increased business and professional success.
SafeWork NSW is asking employers to explore the Workplace Wellbeing Assessment (WWA) digital tool, which can help businesses improve their understanding and management of workplace mental health.
The free tool allows businesses to confidentially survey their staff. Based on the results, the tool generates a detailed report with recommended actions on how the business can respond to risks and create a workplace where mental health thrives.
For business leaders who want to gauge how mentally healthy their workplace is without surveying their workforce, SafeWork NSW also has the Workplace Pulse Check. It is an 11 question survey which takes only 5 minutes. Users get practical actions to take to improve their score and make their workplace mentally healthier.
