QUESTION Critically analyse the importance of employee wellness and
occupational health and safety (OHS) in the public sector, focusing on South
Africa. Your four (4) page response should:
1. Examine the meaning and scope of employee wellness and occupational
health and safety, highlighting their relationship to institutional performance.
The importance of employee wellness and occupational health and safety (OHS) in
the public sector, particularly in South Africa, is paramount for both individual well-
being and institutional performance.
Meaning and Scope of Employee Wellness
Employee wellness is a broad concept encompassing a holistic approach to the well-
being, happiness, safety, health, and comfort of all employees within an institution
(Banderker, 2022). It moves beyond traditional focuses on physical factors like
exercise and diet to include aspects such as work-life balance, stress management,
mental health, physical well-being, and even spiritual health. Research identifies
key aspects of a holistic approach to include:
Career wellbeing: How employees spend their time and their enjoyment of
their work.
Social wellbeing: The need for positive relationships and feeling loved.
Financial wellbeing: Managing one's economic life to reduce stress and
increase security.
Physical wellbeing: Good health, vitality, and sufficient energy for daily work.
Community wellbeing: Engagement within the area where one lives.
The interconnectedness of emotional, social, physical, and financial health is
recognised, meaning, for instance, that financial difficulties can lead to stress and
health deterioration regardless of other healthy habits (Almulaiki, 2023). Employee
wellness should be proactive and preventative, aiming to support behaviours that
lead to optimal health and emotional functioning. It involves creating a wholesome
condition for the body to function well.0717513144
