The Workplace Wellness Fund (WWF) was jointly created by Unions at CBC/Radio-Canada and the Corporation to provide financial support for employee initiatives that improve general well-being: physical, psychological, social, financial or otherwise.
Typically, such an event might be a group social at a venue with a guest speaker. In this time of social distancing it could be a virtual get-together for meditation, fitness, a group webinar or workshop.
The Workplace Wellness Fund would cover expenses from $200 to $1,000, so long as the event is fully inclusive respecting CBC/Radio-Canada’s diversity and inclusion principles. There is also a requirement to fill out a post-event response form to help gauge the success of the initiative.
Disbursements from the WWF will be based on decisions made by the WWF sub-committee, which includes one CMG representative, one French union representative, one APS representative, and one representative from CBC/Radio-Canada management.
