Wellness at work : Bien-être au travail : une question de choix pour un meilleur avenir

According to the Treasury Board of Canada (2010), the key objectives of the survey are to: • Give employees an opportunity to share their views about the state of their team, their organization, and the public service; 2 Appendices I and II provide a guideline of how to recognize stress, as well as the major individual and organizational sources of stress. [...] Officials will ensure that the framework is in place at the strategic, operational and tactical levels, enabling implementation of the strategic guidelines and strengthening of the culture of health and physical fitness. [...] Model Wellness Programs A review of the literature shows that there are a number of “model” wellness plans, and they can be tailored to the unique needs and mission of different organizations. [...] One of the biggest challenges in the establishment of a wellness program in a large federal department, such as the CSC, is the fact that services are provided in 59 facilities, numerous parole offices (including those that deploy a single officer), as well as the five regional and national headquarters. [...] Most employees, by contrast, report that they are motivated by intrinsic factors, such as recognition, the nature of the job, the variety of work, a sense of accomplishment, and responsibilities related to the job.
