Resource & Demands
This wellbeing substream focuses on identifying work demands, conditions, and resources that impact wellbeing.
Healthcare
This project aims to understand the demands and resources in medical professions, and how that impact engagement and wellbeing of employees within a high pressure work environment. We are working closely with one healthcare partner to develop a pulse survey unique to their context of work. This pulse survey serves as a metric that can track wellbeing levers over time (e.g., team values, resources, and demands), and can be used to identify areas of successes and for improvement. We are looking to partner with other industries who are interested in collaborating to discover what their own unique wellbeing levers are.
Living Wage
This project aims to understand how decent working conditions can be enacted in Aotearoa New Zealand workplaces, and how such conditions enable better employee performance, wellbeing and engagement. This programme or research is led by Professor Stuart Carr at Massey University and consists of a number of projects. One such project (led by Sanna with Dr Henrieta Hamilton Skurak) is focusing on the impacts of decent work on perceptions of job insecurity, particularly with small-medium business. The project is well-placed to inform what factors related to decent work that are associated with lower levels of ob insecurity, and findings can inform organisational development to support lower uncertainty for employees.
