Nursing Staff Needed to Help Improve Workplace Safety

Researchers at Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s Centre for Health Research, Innovation and Scholarships are seeking NPs, RNs, LPNs, and CCAs to participate in an online survey! This anonymous 15-minute survey explores workplace factors, safe patient handling practices, and musculoskeletal injury risk among healthcare workers in Saskatchewan. Input will provide valuable insights to help improve injury prevention strategies, enhance training, and support safer working environments in healthcare.

 

Participants who complete the survey can enter for a chance to win a gift card (approximately 1 winner per 50 participants). Entry in the gift card draw is optional and this information is collected separately from survey responses.

New Online System Testing and Usability Study

Saskatchewan Workers’ Compensation Board is seeking care provider volunteers to test a new technology solution aiming to improve how customers access and use WCB services. Volunteers are needed to test the system early or be part of usability studies to share feedback on what works well, what doesn’t work or is not intuitive, and what could be improved. Real-world experience will help them identify issues and make adjustments while changes can still be made.

CLICK HERE to sign up to volunteer.

 

Volunteer can expect: 

  • Opportunities to try out parts of the system before go‑live
  • Clear ways to share feedback and suggestions
  • Ongoing updates on what they heard and how your input is being considered
  • Continued involvement throughout the build stage, not just a one‑time test

 

This is not a finished product. Feedback shared will directly influence how the online platform is designed and refined, and how the resource material can best meet customer needs. 

 

Participation is optional, time‑limited and will not affect current or future WCB services.

 

Questions can be directed to WCB’s change management office at [email protected].
