1. Overview
Developed by the Ministry of Manpower’s Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Institute, in partnership with Changi General Hospital, Health Promotion Board, Institute of Mental Health and WSH Council, the iWorkHealth is a free online, company administered psychosocial health assessment tool that helps employers to understand their workforce’s state of well-being at work, covering work-related stress and burnout, and the key workplace stressors that employees are facing.
The company reports generated from the tool are aggregated and anonymised, and can be segmented by departments. The results will provide employers information of the factors influencing their employees’ mental well-being as well as recommended interventions on what employers can do to improve mental well-being.
Employees who use the iWorkHealth Full version will also receive a personalised confidential report on their mental well-being scores, including a breakdown of scores for each workplace stressor.
iWorkHealth comprises two versions: Full and Lite versions. The table below outlines the differences between the two versions:
