Centre for Education and Development We recognise that supporting staff with ongoing education and professional development opportunities is a vital part of our workforce culture. Staff education, training and development is essential for the provision of high quality health care services and forms an integral part of people management strategy with positive advantages for staff retention and recognition. It enables staff to perform their roles effectively, safely and efficiently. The Centre for Education and Development has continued to meet the educational demands of the hospital by providing a broad range of training sessions for all staff members. In the previous 12 months we have offered 173 internal courses to staff. The educational calendar ensured that both desired and mandatory educational requirements were achieved. There has been a noted growth in staff attendance at educational courses, mainly due to an increase in the variety of courses offered and an extensive internal advertising strategy being implemented. Our commitment to encourage staff to attend external professional development opportunities saw us fund over 100 staff applications to undertake further learning at international, national and local conferences, workshops and seminars at an invested commitment of $46,000. Wellness – Staff Living Well and Wise We recognise that only by ‘living wise and well’ can we continue to sustain our commitment of Being for Others. It has been recognised that staff who take good care of themselves and make healthy lifestyle choices are healthier and happier, more productive, have less days of absenteeism and have lower health care costs. Wellness at the hospital is a staff led committee which aims to support all staff to live well and wise by promoting and funding activities for the mind, body and spirit. Physical health and team spirit have been a priority for Wellness this year. This has included funding support for bootcamp and yoga sessions, staff participating in the MS Megaswim and the virtual walk around the globe in the Global Corporate Challenge. National campaigns including Ride-to-Work and Walk-to-Work have also been promoted by Wellness and have attracted many keen participants. Together with our physical activities, Wellness promotes psychological wellbeing. Monthly magazine subscriptions provided to each ward, encourage staff to take a break and indulge in relaxed conversation and light reading. Seminars by external consultants have also been organised covering topics on the importance of balancing work and home life. Wellness healthy lunches were organised during the year and over 120 staff attended on each occasion. These lunches have provided a practical and social opportunity to promote healthy eating choices to staff. They have also prompted much discussion about healthy food options available to us at work. Wellness also united with the Music Therapy Department to promote ‘May Music and Well Being Month’ which highlighted the role of music in wellbeing. Staff attended sessions in drumming, Latin dancing and guided imagery which were all well attended and attracted much interest and discussion across the hospital. Over 70% of the staff said they ‘felt passionate about their work and that what they did made a difference’. Calvary Health Care Bethlehem 2010 – 11 Annual Report 11
