Fostering mental and physical wellness within the ministry is crucial for maintaining a healthy and productive workforce. This involves implementing various initiatives and programs to support the well-being of our staff members,\u201d said Kawana.<\/p>\n<p>Kawana further said to achieve these benefits, managers should support health programs, provide resources for mental health, encourage a healthy work-life balance, and lead by example when it comes to practicing healthy habits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy fostering a culture of well-being, managers contribute significantly to the overall success and longevity of both the staff members and the Ministry,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Kawana further stated that as the ministry embarked on this friendly competition, he hoped that staff members would remember the values that unite the entire ministry such as respect, integrity, and unity.<\/p>\n<p>He encouraged participants to embrace the diversity within the different teams and appreciate the unique strengths that everyone brings to the table.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMay these games inspire us to lead healthier lives, support one another, and build a stronger, more resilient community within our Ministry. I encourage everyone to compete with passion, uphold the spirit of fair play, and copy lasting friendships that will extend beyond the field of play,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>The Inspector General of the Namibian police Joseph Shikongo also attended the event and looked forward to taking part in the activities.<\/p>\n<p>* Marythar Kambinda is an Information Officer at MICT, Zambezi region.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marythar Kambinda Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
