Question 1
Who is responsible for the health and well-being of employees in the workplace?
Select one:
The employee. Employees must take ownership of their health and well-being by practising self-
care, maintaining a healthy work-life balance, seeking social support, and complying with
policies, to name a few.
The HR department. The role of HR in maintaining the health and well-being of employees
includes designing and implementing various employee wellness programmes.
Both HR – and line management are responsible for maintaining the health and well-being of
employees. They can promote the health and well-being of their employees by creating and
maintaining a healthy work environment by eliminating unsafe and unhealthy working
conditions.
The line manager. The role of the line manager in maintaining the health and well-being of
employees involves creating and maintaining a healthy work environment.
, Answer
The correct answer is: Both HR and line management are responsible for maintaining the health
and well-being of employees.
HR departments and line managers share the responsibility of promoting and maintaining a
healthy work environment, ensuring employee well-being, and implementing policies and
programs to support employee health and safety. While employees are also responsible for taking
care of their own health and well-being, HR and line management have a critical role in creating
a supportive and safe work environment.
HR departments can design and implement employee wellness programs, provide resources and
support, and ensure compliance with health and safety regulations. Line managers, on the other
hand, can create a positive work environment, manage workload and stress, and provide support
and resources to employees.
It's a shared responsibility that requires collaboration and commitment from all parties to ensure
the overall health and well-being of employees in the workplace.
