Step-by-step guide


  • Healthy Workplace Toolkit
    The Healthy Workplace Toolkit provides a step-by-step process and supporting tools will help you plan, action and evaluate a workplace health and wellbeing strategy.
  • Step 1: Get workplace leaders to commit
    The most successful health and wellbeing programs are those which have the support of business leaders.
  • Step 2: Learn about your workplace
    A successful healthy workplace strategy includes an assessment of your current health and wellbeing environment.
  • Step 3: Involve your team
    Your workplace health and wellbeing strategy isn’t going to be successful unless it is centred around your people, and they are actively involved in the process.
  • Step 4: Plan for action
    Now that you have leadership commitment, tracked what you already have in place by completing a needs assessment, and consulted with employees, it’s time to pull together an action plan.
  • Step 5: Monitor and evaluate
    Once you’ve got a workplace health and wellbeing strategy in place, it’s important to find out how well it’s running.
  • Step 6: Celebrate your achievements and review
    It’s time to celebrate your efforts and the dedication and energy of people running your programs and activities.
  • Master checklist
    Master checklist for all steps to creating a healthy workplace.
  • Toolkit templates and resources
