Nedbank Namibia has inaugurated an onsite wellness facility for employees at its Nedbank Namibia campus in Windhoek.
‘Nedbank Namibia has stayed abreast of international trends in employee well-being and recognises that employee wellness is no longer a luxury but a strategic necessity for driving productivity and retaining top talent,” Nedbank Namibia Human Resources Executive, Bianca Muller said.
The Nedbank Onsite Wellness Facility offers a convenient solution for employees to address their health concerns without leaving the workplace, while ensuring that employees have access to top-tier services provided by trained medical professionals.
“By providing access to healthcare services during work hours, employees can promptly address health issues without disrupting their busy schedules. This approach is expected to reduce absenteeism, increase productivity, and enhance employee engagement and morale. It also fosters a culture where employees are encouraged to take proactive steps towards managing their health needs and seeking necessary care,” Muller said.
The launch comes as companies have shifted towards a more employee-centred culture, prioritising employee wellness, which has emerged as a key strategy for talent retention.
“Over the years there has been growing recognition that work can harmoniously coexist with personal life, rather than compete with it,” the company said.
