CONTENTS
Keep in mind that more is not always better. This exercise provides
context as to what KPBs the organization is intentionally influencing
that are consistent with the Standard. The more building blocks and
KPBs covered, the more mature your organization's activity is towards
becoming a psychologically healthy and safe workplace. This exercise
can also help you identify gaps or areas that have not been addressed
or have not had the desired outcomes.
We coach psychological health and safety champions to be thoughtful
on capacity, access, buy-in from employees and leaders, as well as
their involvement in current initiatives. Again, more activity may
not necessarily be better. Moving from a check box mindset to an
evidence-based mindset requires intention, having the right data and
engaging all key stakeholders on a regular basis.
STEP 3 – Decide where to start within the
building blocks.
Under building blocks one to eight we have provided three optional
leading practices that we recommend to employers who are looking
for an idea about how to get started. Having different programs
and initiatives can help to create some momentum. However, it
is important not to confuse programs with strategy. A mental
health strategy aligned to the Standard will include measurement,
monitoring, reporting, and continual improvement.
