Excellence Canada

Four drivers for healthy workplace standard

provides a grid for us to self-assess, undertake a gap analysis and build a 5-year My Healthy Workplace Action Plan. Our process, plan and future state will be reassessed next year, both internally and by an external body appointed by Excellence Canada. We are measuring ourselves against both Bronze and Silver level criteria. The Healthy Workplace assessment is based on 19 success factors that are grouped under four major drivers:

  • Leadership & Commitment
  • People & Well-Being
  • Planning & Risk Management
  • Implementation & Evaluation
