The Maroondah Workplace Wellbeing Project is an exciting new initiative that is designed to enable:

1. local businesses and other organisations to learn about good wellbeing practice, measure
   levels of wellbeing for their workplaces and implement strategies to enhance the wellbeing
   of their people;
2. workers in Maroondah to assess their personal wellbeing against a best practice framework
   and use simple tools and practical tips to create their own personal wellbeing plan; and
3. both Communities of Wellbeing and Maroondah City Council to measure the state of
   workplace wellbeing in the local community as an aid to ongoing planning and evaluation of
   workplace wellbeing initiatives in the local community.

Why do you want to sign up?

There are some really significant business imperatives:
1. We need to meet our positive duty to eliminate or minimise psychosocial hazards
and sexual harassment.
2. We are suffering unprecedented levels of mental illness and burnout and we need to
find ways to help our people through investment in their wellbeing.
3. We are challenged to find and retain the people that we need to succeed in our
organisation and we need to get better at that.
4. As business owners and managers, we need to invest in our own wellbeing so that
we are OK and we can lead the way positively in our organisations and our
communities.

And, of course, you will be making a contribution to wellbeing in your local business community. 

About the PERMAH Survey

The PERMAH Workplace Wellbeing Survey is a centrepiece of Business Victoria’s small
business workplace wellbeing programs and the instrument used by the Australian Human
Resources Institute to measure workplace wellbeing nationally.
It is derived from the work of Professor Martin Seligman, a luminary in the field of positive
psychology.
The Michelle McQuaid Group, developers of the survey, have recently added additional
content to address the 14 psychosocial hazards contained in the Model Code for Managing
Psychosocial Hazards at Work published last year by Safe Work Australia.
So organisations which participate in this project will not only learn more about good
wellbeing practice and get a line of sight on where that is in their businesses, they will also
start to address their positive duties in assessing risks associated with psychosocial hazards
and consulting their people about those things.
