How to use the WPA tool

This is how to create your workplace assessment organisation

The WPA organisation can be created regardless of how the main organisation is build. You can create departments and teams with employees exactly as you need to by taking an employee from one team in the main organisation and placing them in your WPA team with an WPA questionnaire regarding that specific team. None of the re-organisation in the WPA organisation effects the main organisation e.g. EDP teams.

Where you place employees depends on, which questionnaire they must answer. Employees in the same team will receive the same questionnaire.

 

The WPA organisation

1. Go to the gear icon and click ”WPA organisation”.

 

2. It is possible to copy the entire main organisation into the WPA organisation. When the WPA owner enters the WPA organisation for the first time, they have two options:
Copy main organisation

  • Yellow arrow:You can choose “No thank you” and create the WPA organisation from scratch as you wish and not depending on the main organisation set up.
  • Red arrow: By choosing ”Yes, copy organisation now”, you can copy the teams of the main organisation without the original team owners (managers).
  • Green arrow: You can also choose to copy the main organisation along with the original team owners (managers). If you want this solution, first tick of by the green arrow and then click by the red arrow. 

 

3. You can delegate the responsibility for the WPA to an employee. This is done within the WPA organisation.

Permissions to access teams and departments

1. If you did not choose to copy the entire main organisation, the employee with WPA ownership can set up the WPA organisation and place the employees in teams as well as set owners/managers of the WPA teams. You can also delegate permissions to access the different departments or teams. If you want, you can delegate different permissions to the health and safety representatives.


Open a department or team by clicking the team name (red arrow).

Start a dialogue round

When your WPA organisation is made, next step is the questionnaire. See how the general manual to questionnaires here.

When the questionnaire is ready, next step is to start the workplace assessment. The owners of the teams can send the questionnaire out to their employees.


Go to the WPA tool.
Click WPA



1. Click the name of the team you want to send the WPA questionnaire to (red arrow). On the right side a box will appear, where you need to select the questionnaire to send (yellow arrow). If you wish to see the questionnaire prior to it being send, click “Preview” (purple arrow). When you have selected the questionnaire, click “Save” to start up the WPA dialogue round (green arrow).

2. Next step is to prepare sending the WPA questionnaire to the employees. Click the box ”Prepare sending” (red arrow) and it will unfold and become green like in the photo below.

There are two ways to send the questionnaire to employees. One way is to send it to all in the team by ticking the box (purple arrow). Another way is to send the questionnaire to selected employees at a time by only ticking off their box (green arrow).

You can write a message for the employee(s) ticked off. This message will be shown in the e-mail they receive alongside the link to the questionnaire.

When everything is filled in, click ”Send to selected” (yellow arrow).
