Tool Description |
The methodology describes a 7-phase model to implement workplace health promotion.
1. Getting started
2. Marketing
3. Needs analysis
4. Planning
5. Implementation
6. Evaluation
7. Consolidation
Each phase is described in terms of a set of activities, priorities, typical problems and their resolution and a set of tools to support these activities. The methodology can be
used by anyone who wants to implement any form of WHP including mental health promotion.
The tool was developed in the mid-1990s. The most recent
version has been developed by NIGZ Division Work & Health. No formal evaluation of the tool has been carried out as yet, though feedback from users indicates that the tool has been found to be extremely useful.
The methodology tool is available in English, Dutch and Spanish. In Ireland the tool has been used on more than 10 occasions, though many more
copies of the tool are in circulation. The tool has also been used in Spain and widely in the Netherlands.
