At Paparoa Street School we work together to create a healthy environment that minimises workplace stress.
We maintain a mentally healthy workplace by:
Managing stress
Stress can have a negative impact on a person's health and wellbeing, and individuals can respond to stress in a variety of ways.
We encourage kaimahi to:
Kaimahi have a duty to report workplace risks, including stress. The tumuaki or poari matua may request kaimahi experiencing workplace stress see a doctor for confirmation and diagnosis, but kaimahi may decline. The poari matua or tumuaki can request a medical certificate from kaimahi who have been on sick leave for three or more days. Kaimahi reporting workplace stress are supported to develop a stress management plan.
If the poari matua is asked to approve stress-related leave, they act in good faith on the basis of information and advice available at the time their decision is made. When making a decision, they also consider the best interests of all ākonga, parents/caregivers, and kaimahi.
