Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>THE Wellness Institute of Zimbabwe (WIZ), a global resource hub for matters pertaining to good health, has launched a campaign to encourage industry leaders to embrace wellness matters among their employees as it helps in improving work production.<\/p>\n

This comes at a time mental health, social re-engineering and psychological support remain a limited area for concern in some Zimbabwean corporates and Africa at large.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a Press conference in Harare on Tuesday, WIZ administrator Ropafadzo Gloria Sibanda said there is a need to foster commitment from corporate leaders to embrace and promote the wellbeing of their workforce.<\/p>\n

“It is high time organisations realize that wellness is not solitary, but a virtuous cycle that transforms lives beyond the cubicle. Wellness impacts on the performance of employees.<\/p>\n

“Health in the workplace goes beyond the absence of illness. It encompasses mental well-being, ergonomic practices and a culture that promotes a balance between work and life. A healthy workplace is the backbone of a thriving organisation,” she said.<\/p>\n

Sibanda added that an average adult has various economic related engagements, including work, which may lead to stress, fatigue and the need for work-life balance.<\/p>\n

“Employees are affected socially, financially, emotionally, physically (and) intellectually, these areas remain neglected in the workspace yet they have proven to affect the productivity of employees.<\/p>\n

“Everyday we step into our workplaces with a responsibility, a responsibility to return home in good condition (emotionally, physically, financially and even spiritually). Responsibility is a collective effort that begins with leaders and extends to the entire organisation,” she added.<\/p>\n

WIZ is a global resource hub to promote wellness, occupational health, safety, environment and quality.<\/p>\n

Its aim is to positively influence thought leadership in wellness matters by promoting policy design, systems implementation, culture management, compliance and strategy design benchmarking.<\/p>\n

WIZ will host its annual wellness conference next month in Vumba, under the theme: Reimagining and Shaping the Future of Wellness in the Workplace.<\/p>\n
