5.9 EMPLOYEE WELL-BEING, WELFARE AND SAFETY.
MY CLINIC is committed to sustaining an engaged and agile workforce. The Company aims to support staff to
take more responsibility for their own health and wellbeing so that they can reach their full potential in the
workplace and live healthy and balanced lives. This includes mental and physical health, financial, family and
personal growth.

5.9.1 Objectives
Our workplace health and wellbeing policy looks at how work and work surroundings may affect an individual’s
health and also how their health may in turn affect their ability to cope with work. The emphasis is on
preventing the development of workplace health-related accidents and disease and empowering staff to
promote and protect their own health. Current measures include but are not limited to:
• Pre-employment screening to determine the health status of potential employees taking into
account the demands of the job in question
• Other services such as vision and hearing screening, sickness absence management, manual
handling advice and training, advice on compliance with legislation, provision of appropriate
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), employee assistance programmes, etc.
Efforts to improve employee health fall into three broad categories which require sustained commitment from
across our entire workforce:
• Improving the work environment and conditions of work

• Focusing on culture and health promotion policies within the organisation and ensuring they are
implemented

• Raising awareness about health issues and building the capacity of employees within the
organisation to maintain and promote their own health
