Bobirwa District Health Management Team (DHMT) official, Dr Gontse Tshisimogo says employees are the most important assets in any entity and that companies should invest in their health. Dr Tshisimogo was speaking during Zac Construction’s occupational health and safety wellness day in Bobonong recently.

“I advise companies to invest on the health of its employees so that it can have a healthy workforce.”

The wellness day attracted Zac Construction employees and government employees from various departments, who were screened for various diseases and also engaged in various games.
Dr Tshisimogo said companies such as Zac Construction deal with a workforce in a labour intensive industry where huge machines were used.

As such, she commended the company for organising the event, saying it was an indication that it cares about its workforce.
The doctor advised employees to stay away from activities that were likely to affect their health, adding that some engage in activities with the full knowledge of the consequences of such on their health.

“I congratulate Zac Construction for finding it fit to give health education and disease screening to its employees as it shows that it really cares about the health of its employees.” Ends
