Physical WPA: Indoor climate and noise bothers employees
In the middle of September, AU employees received a questionnaire as part of the Physical Workplace Assessment 2015. A total of 4,888 employees took the time to fill out the questionnaire, which gave a response rate of 61 per cent.
The majority of employees who replied to the workplace assessment do not experience problems with the physical work environment. The physical conditions – especially indoor climate, but also noise, layout of the workplace, lighting and vibrations – are the factors which gives rise to the majority of problems. A total of 21 per cent have replied that they experience problems with physical conditions in the workplace.
Ramboll carried out the Physical Workplace Assessment 2015. Work on action plans began in October and the workplace assessment will be evaluated in 2016.
