Better Work By Design Card Sort Launch
The evidence is clear – the quality of our work environments profoundly affects our mental and physical health. Work that is well-designed, organised, and resourced enables people to thrive, while poorly designed work can exact a heavy toll, causing harm to both physical and mental health.
Better Work By Design (BWBD) is a 5-stage process that that enables organisations to identify and manage work-related factors that either harm or are protective of wellbeing.
The Discovery stage involves engaging workers doing similar work to provide a work-as-done (as opposed to a work-as-imagined) view of their current work in relation to factors that are harmful to, as well as protective of, their wellbeing. In this way, BWBD acknowledges workers as the experts in their work and its impacts.
We’re excited to launch our new Discovery Tool: BWBD Card Sort.
The BWBD cards reflect 36 common work-related factors that can either harm or protect a worker’s wellbeing. The cards use icons to reflect the factors and have been translated into Te reo Māori, Samoan, Mandarin, Korean, Tongan, and Hinglish.
