Assessment
An assessment is a systematic analysis of current activities in the area of workplace health management.
Two types of assessment are to be distinguished:
1. self-assessment (internal)
2. label assessment (by an external assessor).
Self-assessment provides a basis for the label assessment. It ensures that the label assessment conducted by external assessors is sufficiently detailed and consistent.
1. Self-assessment (with checklist)
For the self-assessment, a checklist is available online (Downloads). The checklist is also integrated in the online Assessment Tool.
The checklist was developed to help enterprises to assess the status and quality of workplace health management in accordance with the WHM criteria.
The checklist provides a clear framework for determining the current position and offers a sound approach for identifying strengths and scope for improvement.
2. External label assessment
External assessors, acting on behalf of Health Promotion Switzerland, evaluate the status of implementation of WHM according to the WHM criteria and provide a recommendation on whether the requirements for the label are met.
