WINNER: Youth Projects Team
Youth Projects pride themselves on their workplace wellbeing philosophy, which acknowledges work is just one part of someone’s life. By digging deep to understand their employees’ priorities, barriers and needs as “real people”, the organisation seeks to foster a psychologically safe workplace. This has led to the implementation of measures centred entirely on the individual, including a life-first approach to wellbeing; an organisation-wide Employee Wellbeing Strategy; reinvigorated rewards and recognition programs; a bespoke EAP service based on the forward-thinking Dual Continua Model; embedding wellbeing into WHS governance; the promotion of lived experience; and nurturing a values-aligned culture.
