Health Needs Assessment (Employee Survey):

Undertaking workplace health assessments, or employee surveys, within your organisation is an important task. It ensures that your employee’s voices are heard and helps you understand more about your workforce. It also helps you measure the impact of any health and wellbeing improvements you are making. That’s why the workplace health survey or assessment is a mandatory criteria at each award level of the accreditation programme.

We have pulled together these supporting documents to help you accomplish this task:

• Survey Guidance – This brings a survey template in MS Forms and how to duplicate it for your organisation. It also has a list of things to consider when planning to roll out a survey, and the reason why each question is asked based on Public Health England’s evidence-based research
• Result Analysis Report Template – This is to help you analyse and display your survey results (this is the full version report)
• Results Analysis Report Template Summary – This is a summary report to help you present the key findings of your staff survey in a concise way
• Chart Generator Spreadsheet – You just need to input your raw data and this spreadsheet is already set up to generate all the charts for you. This spreadsheet works alongside the report templates above, to complete any data analysis and produce any charts you may wish to include

Assessment Sheets:

Assessment sheets are used to assess employers’ evidence portfolios. They break down each criteria, and will help you identify the main elements that need to be evidenced in order to meet the criteria.
