Workplace Wellbeing

Converge also has an app that caregivers can download to your phone that promotes better physical and psychological wellbeing strategies. Access to EAP services is available 24 hours a day for caregivers and their immediate family members.

Divisional committees

Divisional wellbeing committees have now been set up and are run by caregivers, for caregivers. All departments are represented by a wellbeing group member who will raise ideas for potential activities or initiatives to be discussed and implemented. Caregivers with suggestions to be considered are encouraged to share them with your department wellbeing group member. If you’re not sure who that is please ask your manager.

Wellness massages

As part of our SEM Wellbeing strategy, Frankston and Langmore caregivers have been enjoying 15 minute onsite massages over the past few weeks, with Berwick caregivers next in line for the relaxing treat. Keep an eye out for emails with available times. Bookings can be made easily via QR code found on hardcopy posters around hospitals or through digital versions delivered to your inbox.

Wellbeing activities at work

Frankston recently initiated Harmony Day where they celebrated their multicultural backgrounds by wearing a touch of orange and sharing foods of origin. It was pleasing to see Berwick and Langmore enthusiastically adopt this initiative once hearing what Frankston had already planned.
