Healthy, safe and thriving workplaces can have a profound positive impact on the people and economy of South Australia (SA). Research evidence shows that workplace safety, employee health and wellbeing lead to increased productivity, reduced workforce injuries and illness, enhanced employee engagement and job satisfaction combined with a stronger sense of community cohesion.

The Centre for Workplace Excellence (CWeX) is commissioned to help validate Wellbeing SA’s Healthy Workplace Assessment Tool. If your workplace is anywhere in SA, you can use the Tool to assess your strengths and weaknesses to create healthy and safe workplace. This tool can also be used to develop specific prevention and intervention strategies for your circumstances so you can benefit from the creation of a safe and thriving workplace.

The survey covers key domains related to the promotion and protection of worker health, safety and wellbeing, and is created for business decision-makers including owners, general managers, work health and safety representatives, and human resource managers to reflect your understanding of policies, practices and programs currently existing in your workplace.
