Find out how mentally healthy your business is

The NSW Government has released a free assessment tool to survey your workers and get tailored actions to improve your workplace

The free Workplace Wellbeing Assessment, developed by Safework NSW, will help you work through three of the six steps to creating a mentally healthy workplace: it allows you to consult your team about how you can support their mental health in the workplace; creates a report that will help you identify factors and analyse data on what’s impacting mental health in your workplace; and gives you recommended actions so you can make a plan to improve mental health in your workplace. Any organisation in NSW with six or more employees/volunteers can use the tool, which will use insights from your leaders and workers to reveal how your business is performing in areas critical to workplace mental health, such as leadership and culture. It will give you recommended actions to improve your workplace, based on your results. The survey takes up to 10 minutes for workers and team leaders to complete, and up to 20 minutes for business leaders. It has five sections, with sections one to four asking questions about the focus areas ‘lead change’, ‘create a positive culture and manage factors’, ‘raise awareness and education’, and ‘connect to support’. The fifth section asks respondents about their experiences with mental health in your workplace, such as whether they have taken time off due to feeling mentally unwell at work. All data is stored at a secure Australian data centre and the tool does not collect any identifying information from survey respondents, such as names and position titles. A minimum number of workers and team leaders need to complete the tool’s survey to keep their responses anonymous. The results from these staff are combined and presented in total in the final report. If the minimum number of staff do not complete the survey, your organisation cannot access your results. The Workplace Wellbeing Assessment is compatible with desktop, mobile and tablet.
