Workplace Wellness Assessment and Intervention
​
Assessment
Workplace wellness is a multidimensional construct that can be thought of as the impact of a workplace on optimal employee functioning. Is your workplace providing employees an opportunity to pursue health and wellness or are there unforeseen barriers that you could mitigate? Sometimes, your best attempts to promote positive culture are fraught with errors in execution. Sometimes there are errors in reception. Often, when there are miscommunications, it can be difficult for people to share their concerns and experiences openly with management. This is where an outside consultation can be most helpful.
​
Whether you want to establish a new workplace wellness culture and you require an assessment of employee needs and motivation or an assessment of existing practices and policies, an objective assessment is a place to start.
​
Do you want an objective assessment of your team or workplace?
​
Perhaps you'd like to know what your workplace culture is like. Maybe you'd like some feedback regarding your leadership style and you need an objective researcher to collect the data in an anonymous fashion. Perhaps you'd like to know whether your team or workplace culture is healthy or what can be done to make it healthier. An objective researcher can tailor questionnaires to fit your specific needs and collect and analyze the data in a manner that protects the identity of respondents.
​
​
Are you sure the questionnaires that you use are asking the right questions?
​
Maybe you have an assessment process in place, but it has never been reviewed. You may be missing valuable data because the questions being asked are being interpreted in a different way than intended or the most important questions aren't even being asked, due to an accidental oversight. In research terms, validity refers to the ability of a question or set of questions to accurately represent a broader idea or construct. In order to be confident that you are asking the right questions, it is important to construct an inventory that truly represents the ideas or constructs that you are most interested in measuring. This involves careful preparation of inventory questions and statistical verification of core constructs.
​
Intervention
​
Once you have a better understanding of how your workplace is functioning, what would you like to refine or change? Do you need to realign your organization values and behaviors? Train leadership on better communication and motivational strategies? Institute a new health and wellness-promotion program? Reconsider behavior management strategies to curb workplace toxicity? Learn more about generational differences in work and work-culture expectations? Become a mental health aware organization? Build better teams? Become trauma-informed?

Information
​
Would you rather institute change on your own, but you don't have time to synthesize the scientific literature to identify current trends and useful information? Do you need someone with both applied and research expertise to summarize a human behavior topic or question so that you can design new policies, procedures, or programs? The scientific journals contain the most recent information on a host of topics, including those related to psychology. However, researchers often use unique scientific jargon and complex statistical measures that can be difficult for people without training in research design and statistics to fully understand. Dr. MacIntire's extensive training (a Master's of Science and a PhD) and over 2 decades of experience reading the scientific literature are used to analyze and summarize the scientific literature. A summary, report, or presentation on the recent research can be compiled on any topic related to psychology, including (but not limited to) mental health conditions and treatment, vicarious trauma and post-traumatic growth human performance in work settings, leadership, sport psychology, child and adolescent development, personality, behavior modification, and many other topics.
