URA has organised leisure activities for employees to promote health and wellness. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on our workforce. Existing arrangements were enhanced to address their physical and mental wellbeing needs. Therefore, it is critical for URA to take further action to transform the existing leisure-oriented activities into more targeted and purpose driven wellbeing engagement initiatives. Our new wellbeing programme is designed to address these challenges and ensure that our employees have the resources and support they need to maintain their physical and mental health.
