Abstract
Employee Health and Wellness (EH&W) Performance Indicators for the Gauteng Department of Health
THEME 4: Quality management and enhancement of social services
SUB 4.6 Supporting the mental wellbeing of social service professionals working with adversity under adverse conditions
Oral Presentation
Employers use EHWP to improve employee health and performance, but it needs management and financial support to be successful. EHWP effectiveness in South Africa is unclear due to a lack of evaluation of localized and indigenous programs. The purpose of this paper is to thoroughly examine crucial factors that significantly impact the well-being of employees at three Gauteng state hospitals. This in-depth analysis will enable EHWP administrators to more accurately assess the effects of local conditions and dynamics on employees’ health and overall well-being investigating the extent of EHWP implementation in the program budget and how this directly affects the program's effectiveness. Using a structural equation model, the study identifies objective and subjective factors that contribute to employee well-being, namely Work Engagement and Psychological Capacity. Based on these findings, the study provides insightful recommendations on how this knowledge can be utilized to improve the effectiveness of service offerings for employees.
