The WPA is about your well-being at work. The WPA includes questions about the physical work environment, the psychological work environment and absence due to illness. By completing the questionnaire, you will help draw attention to specific issues that need to be worked on locally.
The questionnaire includes a number of questions that apply to everyone at AU as well as a number of faculty and administration-specific questions which the local occupational health and safety committees and liaison committees have prepared.
You will receive a personal link to the questionnaire on 25 February 2025 in an email from Aarhus University. You can participate in the survey in the period 25 February - 12 March 2025.
If you do not receive an email with a link, please check your spam filter (junk mail). If you don’t find it there, write to apv@au.dk and we’ll assist you as quickly as possible.
The psychological part of the WPA is 100% 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 to the psychological WPA.
Aarhus University has set the following anonymity limits: Five responses for general questions, 40 responses for questions about offensive behaviour and discrimination. Read more about anonymity.
The physical part of the WPA is not anonymous. Your manager and your occupational health and safety group will be able to access to your comments on specific problems with the physical work environment (drafts, noise, etc.) in order to follow up on and address them.
In order to create the best possible starting point for dialogue and local follow-up, it is important that as many people as possible complete the survey. Assume leadership of the process and involve your staff so that they feel that the WPA process is worthwhile.
