The Mental Awareness, Respect and Safety (MARS) Program Landmark Study was commissioned by the Western Australian Government to design and implement a project assessing the mining industry, regarding three focus areas:
- mental health and well-being,
- sexual harassment, assault, and a respectful culture, and
- the future of work in mining
The MARS Program Landmark study is a four-year research and evaluation project led by Professor Sharon Parker at the Centre for Transformative Work Design (CTWD), within the Future of Work Institute, Curtin University.
Report 2B: Workplace policy and practice survey, will cover three separate studies in three separate chapters, 2B(i), 2B(ii) and 2B(iii).
This report, Report 2B(i), presents the results of a workplace policy and practice survey that assessed the initiatives that mining companies report engaging in to support worker well-being.
Report 2B(ii) will present the results of a worker survey that assesses workers’ experiences regarding the three focus areas.
Report 2B(iii) will present the results of worker interviews to understand the lived experiences of workers in relation to the three focus areas. Recommendations for improvement will be made based on the data.
