Setting Up of Wellness Committee

Department of Health (DH) will provide guidance to each participating organisation to set up its wellness committee (WC) whose members should include employee representatives and senior management to plan, oversee and execute the programme.

Roles of the wellness committee are:

  • To serve as a coordinating body to promote workforce health promotion (WHP) within the organisation
  • To serve as a focal point for communication between front-line staff and managerial staff, and with DH
  • To work with DH, Occupational Safety & Health Council (OSHC) and other partners / service providers in facilitating the implementation of the project
  • To collect the health needs and feedback from the front-line staff for project planning and evaluation
  • To organise and coordinate the implementation of the project intervention within the organisation
  • To share the information on the planning and evaluation results of WHP with all staff

A member of the WC should be assigned as the health facilitator to serve as the contact point with DH on issues related to WHP. At this point, DH will organise a working meeting with the WC to kick start the project and take the organisation through all stages of the process.
