WSPS Mental Harm Prevention Roadmap Year-Two Study
6
Procedure
This mixed-methods study used pre- and post-study surveys with psychological health
and safety facilitators, including HR and health and safety (HS) staff with an active role in
mental health strategy or psychological health and safety management systems. HR and
HS staff participated in structured interviews at month eight to explore their experience
with the Roadmap and perceived benefits of using the Roadmap. MFI data was also
collected on employee experience.
Nine companies participated. Each company completed the following steps at Time 1:
1) Psychological health and safety facilitators completed the Building Block
assessment and self-efficacy questionnaire.
2) Employees completed the MFI.
3) Psychological health and safety facilitators used Roadmap resources relevant to
building blocks that included live and recorded webinars, training tools, assigned
WSPS consultant, and resources for developing and implementing practices,
procedures, programs, and behaviours to address psychological health and safety
issues for that building block.
After eight months, each company completed Time 2:
1) Psychological health and safety facilitators completed the Building Block
assessment and self-efficacy questionnaire.
2) Employees completed an MFI pulse check (short form of the MFI).
3) Psychological health and safety facilitators attended a virtual interview with the
researcher to review their experiences with the Roadmap.
