Application
 

Thank you for your interest in the Psychologically Healthy Workplace Awards. These awards recognize organizations that make a commitment to workplace well-being and create a psychologically healthy work environment for employees. The Awards are granted by the Psychologically Healthy Workplace Collaborative; a Standing Committee of the British Columbia Psychological Association and an affiliate of the American Psychological Association.

The 2009 Psychologically Healthy Workplace Award competition is now closed. Please revisit the site for the announcement of winners and for further information about the 2011 awards.

Why apply

The award provides companies and organizations, of all sizes, an opportunity to highlight their efforts to promote psychological health in the workplace. Many people in your organization work hard to foster a healthy work environment and offering them a chance to showcase their efforts is important.

Plus, the process of applying provides an opportunity for your organization to identify, document and celebrate your psychologically healthy practices and accomplishments. Winners will receive an attractive trophy indicating that they are a winner of the prestigious Psychologically Healthy Workplace Award.

Winners are honoured at an awards event to which the media and business community are invited. This accomplishment can be publicized in  internal and external corporate communications.

It should be noted that the Collaborative is a voluntary effort that is dependent on support from the business community. We welcome sponsorship, whether it is financial or in-kind. Please review the sponsorship information here.

For more information about sponsorship opportunities, educational activities or applications for the 2011 awards, please contact Dr. Joti Samra at 778.782.5263 or info@phwc.ca.
