Corporate Wellness Week takes place from the 6th – 10th of July and highlights the importance of a healthy work environment. The 21st-century work environment has placed a spotlight on advanced digital communications and innovations that have been the cause of increased high-pressurized work environments.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) shares, “A healthy workplace is one in which workers and managers collaborate to use a continual improvement process to protect and promote the health, safety and well-being of all workers and the sustainability of the workplace.”
Research conducted by the World Health Organisation reflects that the average person spends a third of their adult life in the workplace. Negative outcomes such as decreased productivity, higher absenteeism, and poorer work ethic will be the result of an unhealthy work environment.
Maintain your health and wellness by participating in wellness programmes offered by your workplace or initiatives supported by your medical aid lifestyle programmes. Ask a Glopin Healthcare Consultant about medical aid plans that include lifestyle benefits.
