The Work, Life and Health (WLH) Study aims to improve the capacity of WA Health and organisations within WA Health, to secure a healthy work life balance for the health workforce by informing and supporting evidence-based policy, intervention and practice. It commenced in late 2008 and runs until mid 2010.
The study incorporates a qualitative and quantitative component. The qualitative study has investigated the work life balance (WLB) experiences of a sample of workers in the WA health workforce, it identifies key barriers and supports to effective WLB with a view to informing government and organisational policies to improve the work life outcomes of the WA and Australian workforce, and the recruitment and retention of workers.
