WELLNESS DAY AT nbc
nbc ENGAGES STAKEHOLDERS AT NORTHERN SME AWARDS CEREMONY GALA DINNER
The Human Resources (HR) De-partment of the Namibian Broad-casting Corporation (nbc) devel-oped various Wellness activities and programs that will be held on a monthly basis for its staff mem-bers.
The first of its kind for the year, the broadcaster hosted MetHealth and Namibia Medical Care (NMC) members to screen staff for life-style ailments including hyperten-sion, cholesterol and diabetes.
Workplace wellness is any workplace health-promotion activity or organizational policy designed to support healthy be-haviour in the workplace and to improve health outcomes.
The nbc is committed to re-invigorate wellness activities and stimulate dialogue around the topic of health and wellness.
Creating an on-site wellness pro-gramme is important because the majority of an employee’s time is spent at the workplace. Many chronic diseases are pre-ventable. According to the Cen-tre for Disease Control (CDC), chronic diseases account for 75 percent of total healthcare costs. They are also the most prevent-able type of diseases.
nbc Chief Human Resources Officer, Vezenga Kauraisa stat-ed: “Employees are the most valuable assets to any company and by providing our employees’ with various wellness services will result in a number of bene-fits such as: improved employee wellbeing, job satisfaction, as well as raising retention rates. The welfare of employees also has a direct impact on the overall
success of the Corporation.” The broadcaster appointed
Wellness Champions represent-ing different Departments in its efforts to enhance the accep-tance and success of wellness ac-tivities by encouraging employee ownership of the programs in their respective departments.
Namibia New Age Investments in partnership with Namibia Chamber of Commerce and In-dustry (NCCI) – Northern Branch, the Namibian Broadcasting Cor-poration (nbc) and Confidente Newspaper formed part of key stakeholders who hosted and attended the ‘Northern SME Awards’ gala dinner in Ongwed-iva, Oshana Region recently.
The gala dinner was held in honour of small and medium en-
terprises that will be recognised for their contribution towards the economic growth of Namib-ia. The Northern SME Awards Ceremony will be held with the goal to empower, recognize and support small and medium en-terprises who excel in different activities. The future vision is to nationalize the SME Awards into a domestic brand that adds value and credibility to the SME sector. The awards will also provide a
platform for SME’s business-es to grow, inspire and act as a driver for local SME’s to pros-per. Further objectives include restoring an unfulfilled sense of encouragement, recognition and appreciation to individuals in the sector.
Promising SME’s will receive trophies, certificates and cash prizes at the Awards Ceremony scheduled to take place on 01 July 2017. The award categories include Most Innovative SME, Best SME, Employer of the Year as well as Best SME Women of the Year.
The nbc delegation was led by Chief: News and Program-ming Officer Menesia Muinjo who stated: “The nbc is there to develop not only SME’s but also
sectors across the board.” She further complimented the idea of the Northern SME Awards which includes national recog-nition of SME employers, who excel in different activities and to compliment the Harambee Prosperity Plan on economic ad-vancement and development.
The broadcaster pledged N$70 000 as broadcast sponsor for both radio and television to-wards the awards and now offers a special advertising package to ensure SME’s can afford to ad-vertise on the national broad-caster at reasonable costs.
