Respondents reported accessing general services more than tailored services. Service use was greater amongst those who perceived greater support from their managers and/or co-workers, those who worked in large organisations and those who worked in HR/OHS. SO WHAT?: These findings are informative for practitioners assisting organisations to improve health and wellbeing initiatives and service providers interested in increasing service uptake. A mix of general and tailored services is likely to be useful in building employees' capacity to increase health and wellbeing in their workplace. Support from management and co-workers is an important facilitator, and small organisations may require more focussed targeting due to the lower tendency to engage with these programs and increased benefits.
