Vector Annual Report 2018

Business Unit Reports People, Safety and Risk continued

LOOKING AFTER OUR PEOPLE// Our focus on worker safety and the wellbeing of our people continues to mature. A culture of safety is leading to better engagement and more robust reporting of incidents, and our wellbeing initiatives continue to focus on wellbeing from a physical, mental, social and work perspective, which has seen our programmes become more holistic. Managing Family Violence This year, we introduced our Managing Family Violence policy and training. Our policy details how employees who are experiencing or escaping family violence can be supported and to guide the response of managers to employees whose work life is affected by family violence. Awareness has been increased through the rollout across the Vector group of a family violence e-learning module and training workshops were facilitated by Women’s Refuge. This training was further reinforced by the launch of an e-learning module on preventing bullying and harassment. Wellbeing Programme FY18 was the second year that Vector has run a concentrated and dedicated wellbeing programme. Over the past 12 months Vector employees have been able to take part in a wide range of wellbeing initiatives. One of our biggest successes this year was the increase in participation for the monthly Resilience and Wellbeing (RAW) challenges of 158%. The challenges target four key areas of wellbeing – social, mental, physical, and work wellbeing and encourage participants to undertake activities over a month-long period. The Auckland HSE Committee also organised and ran a Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Expo at the Head Office, highlighting a number of health, environmental and safety topics and activities. We have also seen a continued increase in participation in the Wellbeing 360 survey – going from a 71% participation rate in FY17 to 80% in FY18. Our wellbeing programme is underpinned by the provision of a range of free occupational health services and wellness monitoring.
