With work-related stress and healthcare costs on the rise, the need today for corporate wellness cannot be overstated. Smart Business Leaders know that whilst people are your biggest asset, they can also be your biggest risk. Which is why the majority of top South African Employers have included comprehensive in-house wellness programmes.
