Health and Wellbeing Profile

Economic Regulation Authority's workplace health and wellbeing program is coordinated by the Human Resources Department and supported by a OSH and Wellness Committee. 

Planning

Following support from senior management, the OHS & Wellness Committee members completed the HWWA Coordinator Training. The OHS & Wellness Committee  conducts staff consultation and guides the planning and development of the workplace health and wellbeing program.

"Our management has always been supportive of workplace wellbeing, and spearheaded the move to a more formal program. We have an OSH and Wellness Committee who discusses any concerns related to wellness and plans the wellness activities. The committee also receives any feedback from staff and discusses this at regular meetings" says Roshan Fernandes, Manager Human Resources.
