CWHP-A Reflections: Unit WWC01

I’m re-entering this process at an interesting stage. Much of this work was completed in my previous role, but I’ve taken time to review it before moving forward. Over the past year, I’ve gained valuable perspective by viewing PHS through a health and safety lens rather than solely a mental health lens. While I have always taken a holistic approach, I previously assumed physical safety already received sufficient attention. I now recognize that was a limited view, the integration of physical and psychological health is essential to true workplace wellbeing.

Going forward, my focus would be on ensuring health and safety strategies are genuinely holistic, addressing both aspects equally. A key priority would be strengthening the connection between Joint Health and Safety Committees (JHSCs) and Well-being Committees, establishing clear and consistent communication channels to support collaboration and reinforce a shared commitment to worker wellbeing.
