Thesis (MPH.) -- University of Limpopo, 2021 / The study was conducted in Polokwane sub-district targeting all the employees at
Polokwane One-stop Centre. The specific focus was drawn to all permanent Social
workers, Community Development workers and Social Auxiliary workers. The aim of
the study was to explore barriers influencing employee participation in Employee
Health and Wellness Programmes and to describe barriers influencing employee
participation in Employee Health and Wellness Programmes.
The data was collected through semi-structured face-to-face interview from all
employees who are employed by the Department of Social Development, Polokwane
Sub-District. The sample consisted of permanent Social workers, community
development workers and social auxiliary workers who have more than one year of
experience in the department of social development and excluded all employees
who were on the internship programme. The researcher used thematic data analysis
to analyse the findings of the study. The study concluded that employees were not
participating in the EHWP because of limited knowledge of services rendered at the
EHW programme, lack of access to EHW services, privacy and confidentiality of
service providers and expertise knowledge of those offering the programmes and
inadequate support from management. It is recommended that those in leadership
should ensure that they disseminate information about EHWP to all employees.
