The
Employees’ Compensation Commission (ECC) is a government agency
mandated by law to provide meaningful and appropriate compensation
package for public and private sector employees and their dependents
in the event of work-related contingencies through the Employees’
Compensation Program (ECP).
It also initiates policies and programs toward adequate
occupational health and safety, and accident prevention in the working
environment.
For
the year 2001 an onwards, ECC focused its efforts to develop and
implement programs that will minimize the incidence of work-related
contingencies among workers, and to provide them and their dependents
with ample benefits and other compensatory
benefits and curative services in case of work-related
contingencies.
ECC realizes that a good program is ineffective if its target
beneficiaries are not even aware of its existence.
In this case, an effective communication and information
dissemination is necessary.
Thus,
a survey was conducted to get baseline information on the level of
public awareness on ECC/ECP and to determine the socio-demographic
profile of the people who have been made aware of the program.
The results were used as basis for the development of an
effective information campaign implemented by ECC.
