What is a Healthy Healthcare?
A healthy workplace is one in which organisational stakeholders work together to ensure that employees are safe, well, and able to do their best while ensuring that the organisation can succeed and positively impact the community. It involves jointly identifying and managing things that can cause mental and/or physical health problems at all levels of the organisation. It also means providing the necessary resources to empower employees while protecting them from harm or injury.
While acknowledging the interconnectedness of physical and mental health and their mutual influence, our approach to a healthy workplace primarily concentrates on the psychosocial aspects.
