Workplace Assessment (WPA)

A WPA is a tool that makes it possible to continue to improve the work environment in a preventive and systematic way by drawing on employees’ experiences and observations. The objective of a WPA is to work together to create the best possible conditions for employee well-being.

Promoting day-to-day well-being in the workplace is a year-round focus for managers. Every three years, AU conducts a workplace assessment (WPA). The next WPA survey will take place between 25 February and 12 March 2025. Afterwards, Rambøll will prepare reports, which will be available in the WPA Portal from April 7.

Anonymity and confidentiality

The WPA is 100 per cent anonymous. Anonymity is ensured by means of anonymity limits, meaning that results will only be included in the report if a certain number of employees have answered the question. No one at AU has access to individual responses. 

Aarhus University has set the following anonymity limits: 5 responses for general questions, 40 responses to questions about offensive behaviour and discrimination. Read more about anonymity​​​​​​​. 

Comments to the physical part of the WPA is not anonymous, and your occupational health and safety group will be able to access your comments on specific problems with the physical work environment (drafts, noise, etc.) in order to follow up on and address them.
