Healthy employees and healthy businesses

To really determine the health of a business, we must take a holistic view – one that includes the health of its employees. Their health determines their productivity and a company’s growth and potential. Every year South Africa loses billions of rands to absenteeism and a huge proportion of that is linked to employees falling mentally or physically ill. How do corporate organisations combat these losses? Azania talks to Employee Wellness experts Nonkululeko Pitje (Discovery’s Head of Employee Health Solutions) and Dr Tshidi Gule (founder of the Medispace Lifestyle Institute) to explore these dynamics and the holistic solutions that boost employee wellness.
