WorkWell survey results
By Kate Murdoch, Corporate Services
Project Manager.
Thanks to all staff who gave us feedback
through the WorkWell Staff Survey earlier
this year. About 10% (346 people) of our staff
completed the survey, and this portion of
staff is a fairly accurate reflection of our staff
demographics.
Workwell is a workplace wellbeing programme designed to help
us support you by focusing on our working environment and
organisational systems. WorkWell aims to enrich your physical,
mental, emotional, and occupational wellbeing by supporting our
workplace to make great moves in the area of wellbeing.
