Employee Safety & Total Well-being

Why is Employee Safety & Total Well-being Important?

Our dedicated team is essential to delivering quality care. Prioritising safety and well-being fosters a culture of ownership, empowering employees to thrive. We’ve uncovered several key themes on what employees want and categorised them under 3 pillars:

Culture

                            A caring culture ensures employees feel safe and have their health and well-being looked
                            after.
                        

Workplace

                           Good communication at the workplace keeps everyone in the loop, and everyone wants to feel valued and heard.
                        

Support

                            Support for mental health and other concerns being emphasised helps employees feel cared for when dealing with work stressors.
                        

Our goal is to provide our employees with a caring and safe work environment so they feel empowered and, consequently, bring more energy, passion and professionalism to their work. Maintaining a safe work environment also supports the consistent delivery of quality healthcare services to our patients.
