Seeking employers for organizational readiness study

We are presently seeking employers to field test a new survey to assess organizational readiness for change. Your organization will distribute an online survey to employees and the result will indicate how to build readiness to introduce and sustain a Total Worker Health® program.

Keep in mind that...

Organizational change is challenging to achieve and many well-intended efforts fail to succeed because readiness for change was overlooked.

What are the benefits from participating?

• Your organization will take the first step towards introducing a participatory, Total Worker Health Program.
• You will learn about your organization and contribute to a scientific study at the same time.
• You will receive a feedback report telling you what dimensions of readiness need to be strengthened and how to do it.
• If you achieve strong survey participation you may qualify for in-person consultation and technical assistance from our Center personnel to help you take the next steps.

What's involved?

• Distribute the Organizational Readiness for Total Worker Health brief online survey to as many eligible employees as possible.
• Receive a feedback report, and convene a team for action planning.
• Participate in an evaluation interview.

Questions? Interested in learning more?

Contact us if you would like to participate or have additional questions. Let's discuss how we can help your organization implement Total Worker Health®.
