iWorkHealth Corporate Assessment Tool

In a fast-paced, dynamic business world, stress is a constant feature in Singaporeans who spend up to 80% of their waking hours at work. Studies and national surveys have shown that poor management of job stress leads to health problems among employees, affects productivity, morale and ultimately an organisation’s bottom line. But before rushing to implement workplace health programmes, it is important to assess the stress levels, general health of the employees and their perception of their work environment in order to identify the gaps that need to be addressed.

Changi General Hospital together with Ministry of Manpower (MOM), SATA, Civil Service College (CSC) and Health Promotion Board (HPB) have developed the iWorkHealth Corporate Assessment Tool which comprises of two versions; iWorkHealth and iWorkHealth Plus. This is a validated questionnaire for assessing how critical job-related and family/social characteristics affect an employee’s psychosocial health and then identifies areas for concern and recommends effective interventions that can be put in place. Annual assessments using this tool would enable the company to evaluate the impact of various intervention programs that have been implemented on their employees health and perception of their work environment.

The iWorkHealth Corporate Assessment Tool is recommended to managers who are responsible for directing and implementing appropriately targeted corporate wellness programs and maximizing the impact of such programs.
