Health and Wellbeing Profile

Planning

Following support from senior management for the implementation of a workplace health and wellbeing program, 360 Environmental identified a Health and Wellbeing Coordinator to oversee program activities. The Coordinator completed the HWWA Coordinator Training and undertook staff consultation via workplace surveys to assess the health and wellbeing needs of staff. Once this information had been collected, the Health and Wellbeing Coordinator developed an action plan. In addition, regular evaluation of program activities is conducted.
