About the Speakers:
Pichara Chhe, CHRP
Throughout her 14-year career, Pichara worked as a compensation expert at companies such as SPAR Aerospace, British American Tobacco, and Aeroplan and joined McGill University as a Compensation Advisor in 2017. Two years later, her life took an unexpected turn when her father, also a McGill employee, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Balancing the responsibilities of being a working mother and a caregiver to her late father, Pichara experienced firsthand the importance of prioritizing her own health and wellness. This experience deeply influenced her, leading her to become passionately committed to promoting employee health and wellness as the Health and Well-being Advisor for McGill Faculty & Staff.

Throughout her career and particularly in the more recent years, she has facilitated several workshops and trainings and launched different initiatives for employees and leaders of the FMHS. Véronique is always looking for ways to promote work/life balance and employee wellness by modeling and encouraging many best practices for the leaders and employees alike in hopes to help improve both their personal and professional performance, health and wellness.
