Employee health and workplace environment are becoming increasingly important, especially in times of global uncertainty. Poor health and low engagement contribute to significant productivity losses, absenteeism, and high employee turnover, which incur substantial costs for both companies and society. The growing prevalence of hybrid and remote work also makes it increasingly challenging for managers and HR departments to detect and address potential issues. Therefore, a changing work life demands new tools to effectively manage health, workplace environment, and engagement.

Combining preventive occupational healthcare with employee surveys can help employers create a work environment that not only prevents health problems but also promotes engagement and loyalty among employees. By adopting a holistic approach that focuses on improved health, well-being, reduced employee turnover, and a more productive workplace, HR managers and leaders are equipped with the tools needed to tackle both today’s and tomorrow’s challenges. This lays the foundation for long-term success.

Data-driven investigation, risk assessment, measures, and control

Employers have a duty to ensure a good work environment. Working with the organizational and social work environment within the framework of systematic work environment management (SAM) is a continuous process that involves examining the physical and social work environment, assessing risks, prioritizing and implementing actions, and monitoring the effects of these actions. It is essential to understand each part of the process but also to see the whole picture and the interaction between all parts. Our tools for health surveys and employee surveys provide support in all stages of this process.

OneLabs tools can support you in all phases:

  • Investigate: Map the physical and mental health of your employees with our health survey and assess engagement with our employee survey tool.
  • Risk assessment: Each survey provides data-driven decision support and insights for your systematic work environment management. With reliable data, you can choose precise actions tailored to your organization.
  • Measure: Let our AI assistant help you interpret the results and suggest actions. The assistant is well-versed in all regulations from the Swedish Work Environment Authority.
  • Control: By continuously measuring the health and engagement of your employees, you can address specific problem areas and follow up on the effects of your initiatives.

With the right tools, you can create a work environment that not only improves employee health and engagement but also drives the company toward long-term success.
