CWHP-A Reflections: Unit WWC03

Having clear roles and responsibilities is important for several reasons. One, it is a psychosocial factor that can impact people’s wellbeing. We don’t want our wellbeing plan to negatively impact the people who are implementing it. Clear roles and responsibilities is also important so people understand what is expected of them, can align with the expectations given their current responsibilities and workload, and to be able to hold people accountable. I’ve seen in situations where a project starts and expectations are not clear, then partway through the project someone indicates they are not aligned and cannot meet that responsibility.
