Wellness Secretariat <strong>USM</strong> (SWS)<br />
In accordance with its existence, the ‘SWS’ is fully responsible for enhancing the wellbeing<br />
of the campus staff. Hopefully, the SWS would be able to organize several proactive<br />
programmes and activities which could propell a healthy environment amongst the<br />
staff members and their families. Among the objectives of SWS are character building<br />
and assisting the staff should they face any difficulties or problems in the most effective<br />
manner i.e.; through a “self-assistance programme” which consist of counseling activity,<br />
mentoring and peer group assistance so that resource could be uplifted to the optimum<br />
standard befitting the needs of the university and the government.<br />
In conjunction with the above mentioned statement, several staff motivational activities<br />
such as ‘self character building’, workshop, youth health camp, healthy family programme<br />
and counseling sessions are held. Presently, programmes such as ‘Kunjung Bantu’ and<br />
Enhancing English Communication Skills for Special Purposes are well received by the<br />
participants. Future programmes are to highlight outstanding participants for all their<br />
round performance. The ‘Kunjung Bantu’ and Enhancing English Communication Skills<br />
Programmes which are in currently progress are commanding the most popular and<br />
positive response from the PTJs and their staff.<br />
As the name suggests ’Kunjung Bantu’ is a ’Problem Buster’ i.e; it addreses any problem<br />
that might occur involving PTJs in the university. ’Kunjung Bantu’ started in mid-July<br />
and is still ongoing in assisting staff members to overcome their feelings of uneasiness<br />
towards the surrounding in terms of the distribution of task in their daily lives. Today,<br />
the ’Kunjung Bantu’ programme receives very favourable responses from the participants<br />
and this helps to overcome any misgivings that might arise. God willing, this programme<br />
will continue to be one of the means to solve the nagging problems facing staff.<br />
