TERMS OF REFERENCE

CONSULTANCY SERVICES TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAMME FOR THE LESOTHO ELECTRICITY AND WATER AUTHORITY

  1. Background

Lesotho Electricity and Water Authority (LEWA) is a statutory body established in terms of the Lesotho Electricity Authority Act of 2002, as amended to regulate Electricity Supply Industry (ESI) and Urban Water and Sewerage Services (UWSS) in Lesotho. In 2013, LEWA was transformed into a multi sector regulator by assuming regulation of urban water and sewerage services in the country.

LEWA developed a new Strategic Plan 2019/20 – 2024/25 driven, among others, by the desire to build and operate a sustainable organisation. In order to strengthen the organisation’s stance towards building a sustainable organisation as mandated by LEWA’s Strategic Plan and ensuring the welfare of the Authority’s employees, the Wellness Policy was developed to set a framework for employees’ welfare in the workplace. LEWA recognises that employees’ wellbeing and productivity may be affected by chronic or life-threatening illnesses and such LEWA is committed to creating a caring and supportive working environment that is conducive to the welfare of employees and that enables the employees to perform to their full potential. To achieve this, LEWA intends to develop and implement a comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme (EAP).

The purpose of the EAP is to provide a means for assisting employees whose personal problems may affect their job performance and the EAP shall assist employees with social and physical conditions, as well as illness whose effects may have adverse impact on the employee’s performance. The intention of EAP is to make an early identification and assessment of employee problems that may affect their job performance and provide a referral service for testing, diagnosis, treatment, assistance, monitoring and follow-up services. All the aspects of EAP interaction shall be handled in a confidential manner and any information given by the employees to the service provider shall remain confidential.

In pursuit of the above, LEWA invites experienced and qualified consulting organisations or individuals, to submit technical and financial proposals to provide Employee Assistance Programme services to its employees. The term of the agreement to be entered into for the services is three (3) years.
