What does the Health & Wellbeing team do?

We run the Health & Wellbeing Survey. This survey is confidential and is independent from all employer groups, professional associations and unions.
In taking the survey you will be able to track your job-related personal health and wellbeing over time. You will automatically receive a report specific to you upon completion each year.
“Interesting survey, made me think of my work and life in general. I’m happy I spent the time on doing the survey. Thank you.”
“Thanks for the opportunity to participate. I think the work you are doing is outstanding.”
