unemployment and poor health. The health audit found that most of the workforce displayed low levels of physical health, even among younger workers. Forty-five percent were smokers and over 60% reported drinking to excess at least once a week. The audit also found low levels of physical activity (aside from their work) and poor dietary choices. Alongside its health audit, Mzansi Packaging conducted its first-ever employee attitude survey. Of most concern, the survey found that only 48% of employees were satisfied with their jobs, 28% were actively looking to leave the company and 56% would consider alternative employment. Following analysis of the audit and staff survey findings, Mzansi Packaging decided to fund a series of staff seminars, presented by health care experts, on health issues ranging from smoking to heart disease. Surprised by the level of staff interest in the seminars, senior management, decided to introduce a wider range of workplace initiatives with the following objectives: to improve employee quality of life both inside and outside of the workplace; to raise staff awareness of health and wellness issues; to improve the health and physical fitness of its employees; to reduce the incidence of work-related injury and illness; and to improve productivity, employee attendance and staff morale. These broad objectives continue to inform Mzansi Packaging's approach to workplace wellness. Since 2018, the company has invested heavily in its programme, not least in building an on-site gym for use by both staff and their families. A number of long-term sickness absentees have successfully used the facility, with the guidance of a workplace wellness advisor, to rehabilitate themselves and returned to work. The company now employs a full-time wellness advisor with whom workers can discuss health problems and who undertakes risk assessments, supports workers in stopping smoking and ensures early intervention in alleviating workplace injury and illness. For example, a number of workers had been to see the wellness advisor whilst suffering from repetitive strain injuries and she was able to offer advice on how to minimise pain and reduce strain in carrying out their work. The wellness advisor also carries out routine health checks, offers counselling to deal with workplace stress or other mental health concerns and runs a slimming club and regular seminars advising on healthy eating. The staff canteen now offers only healthy options and all employees are entitled to two free meals per shift. Outside of the workplace, the company has developed a relationship with a nearby leisure centre which provides a range of regular activities and classes which staff can undertake at reduced prices, including tennis basketball, tai chi and yoga.. The wellness advisor runs a number of staff sports leagues, for example five-a-side soccer, to promote healthy competition among employees. While all the wellness initiatives were well attended by the majority of Mzansi Packaging staff over the period 20182021, the wellness advisor has noticed that in 2022 there has been a significant drop in the number of staff attending and participating in the wellness initiatives. The wellness advisor is concerned that this might be due to a number of new managers who had been recruited at the beginning of 2022, and whom appear to not understand the importance of promoting employee wellness in the workplace.
