Are you Good4Work? | IMPAC health and safety
Good4Work is a free online workplace wellbeing tool. It’s been designed for small to medium-sized workplaces and those just getting started with workplace wellbeing.
The tool takes you through a step-by-step process to help you identify and complete actions to change your workplace environment and culture. It focuses on four areas: the way we work, the place we work, the way we connect, and the way we lead.
How it works
Good4Work starts with a short quiz asking you to rate your workplace against 22 statements that cover the essential elements for a positive workplace culture and environment.
The tool has been upgraded after user feedback showed most organisations using the tool wanted more staff engagement in wellbeing. A new function now allows for the first user to send the quiz to their teammates.
The combined results can be shared with staff, with graphs that highlight how a workplace compares to other Kiwi businesses in the same industry. You’ll also see how your responses compare to those of your team - what's important to you may be different to what's important to your people.
This provides workplaces with a starting point and leads to strategies and resources to help them develop a plan. The quiz questions are anonymous, allowing staff to honestly rate their workplace.
You’ll then get a downloadable to-do list to share with your team, complete with checklists, ideas, and resources.
