Revitalizing Mind, Body, and Soul Across All Offices
Proconics Holdings employees were recently treated to health and wellness training as part of the annual wellness day campaign.
Since October, the organisation has rolled out a series of events designed to promote a healthier and more balanced lifestyle. From Durban to Cape Town, Secunda, Midrand, and Vanderbijlpark, employees embraced activities that focused on the well-being of the mind, body, and soul.
Each Wellness Day kicked off with health screenings provided by trusted partners like Mediclinic and OneStop Wellness. These screenings offered employees valuable insights into their health, covering areas like cholesterol, blood pressure, glucose, BMI, and HIV/AIDS status. “These assessments highlight the importance of taking a proactive approach to health,” said one employee.
The day wasn’t just about checking health stats; it also celebrated fitness and fun. Zumba sessions got everyone moving and energised, while smoothie bike stations allowed employees to pedal their way to creating healthy drinks. “It was a fun way to stay active and learn about nutrition,” said another employee.
Mental and emotional wellness was also prioritised, with meditation sessions offering a chance to de-stress and recharge. Relaxing massages helped employees unwind and release built-up tension. “The massages were a real highlight. It was a great way to take a break and refresh,” one participant shared.
Insightful talks added depth to the wellness theme. Dorah Tlala, Group CHRO, spoke about the importance of nurturing the mind, body, and soul, while the SHERQ team — Jimmy Mathebula and Bevin Ullbricht — discussed occupational wellness and its significance in the workplace. Additionally, spiritual sessions by Brahma Kumaris provided a reflective space for employees to achieve balance in their lives.
Cape Town’s “Board of Shared Memories” allowed employees to share personal moments that inspired them, helping to build a sense of community. Across all offices, healthy snack packs and nutritious food options served as reminders to make small, healthy choices every day.
The success of these events highlights Proconics’ commitment to employee wellness. By focusing on prevention, fitness, mental health, and community, the company is fostering a thriving, connected workforce.
“These Wellness Days have not only inspired healthier habits but also brought us closer as colleagues,” said one employee.
As Proconics continues its wellness journey, the company is setting the stage for a healthier, more balanced future for all.
