Sibaya puts the spotlight on staff wellness
Understanding the crucial link between employee wellness and a healthy, productive and happy workforce, Sibaya Casino & Entertainment Kingdom hosted a wellness day for its employees, encouraging them to get active, undergo preventative screenings, learn about healthy nutrition and interact with wellness experts.
The activities included screening tests for HIV, TB, blood pressure and cholesterol amongst others; shoulder, head and leg massages; Zumba with qualified instructors; a fun run, and a beauty bar. Wellness experts including a dietician, optometrist, representatives from Diabetes SA and a biokineticist were on hand to chat to employees.
By participating in all of the quarterly events leading up to the Wellness Day, employees went into a draw to win a flat screen television. There other prizes to be won in several other lucky draws during the course of the event at Sibaya's Sun Park.
"Often people have concerns or questions about their health, fitness and emotional wellbeing but they don't have the means or the motivation to consult with the relevant professionals about it. We are delighted that we were able to give employees access to helpful advice by experts as well as screening tests in a fun and engaging setting. The response to the event was heartening," says Chantel Jhilmeet, HR Manager at Sibaya.
