Choosing the method that’s right for you
Types of information gathering To assess the full range of employee health and wellness needs, questions should include issues related to the organizational culture, employee healthy lifestyle choices, and occupational health and safety.
Determine or prioritize needs Prioritize through brainstorming or common themes identified and share these findings with management and staff. The next step is to develop a Plan for Action. (Refer to step 4 of the Balanced Workplace Health program)
Create a report and share the document. Take the time to put all of the information gathered into a report. Find ways to share the whole report or highlights with management and employees. At this point you may wish to conduct group feedback sessions with some employees to ensure the information collected accurately reflects employees’ interest and concerns.
Develop a plan to continue to collect information. Plan on re-doing workplace assessments regularly and continue to collect and monitor information. Further assessments will allow the identification of any new or prevailing issues and will enable a comparison with previous results.
