OUR FRAMEWORK
Our model was developed from a rigorous review of effectiveness of six well known workplace wellness frameworks from around the world, and best practices, in comparison to strategy, organizational effectiveness, and human resource management theories. It bridges the gap between employee well-being, broader human resource and performance strategies, allowing for greater efficiency and integration. It is based on key success factors that include integration, leadership support, good communication and adequate resources. The accompanying guide aligns with the Psychological Health and Safety Standard.
