Evaluate and Choose Next Steps

Before implementing your planned actions for improving psychological health and safety, it’s important to decide upon your evaluation strategy. Some evaluation questions to consider are "How will we know whether these actions achieved our intended outcomes?" or "How will we know whether our investment in time, effort and money was worthwhile?" 

Effective evaluation is: 

• Practical: clearly relevant to your intended outcomes, straightforward, measurable, easy to implement, and cost-effective 
• Flexible: adaptable to your workplace and its available resources 
• Continuous: uses an ongoing quality improvement approach where employee feedback and other data is provided over time and used to modify/improve intervention(s) 

Evaluation planning for psychological health and safety provides tips and strategies to help you develop your evaluation strategy.
