Promoting A Healthy Lifestyle
We have an extensive Employee Wellness Programme, with a focus on HIV/AIDS, mental health, cancer, and a healthy lifestyle. The programme includes a peer educator network, testing, counselling, training awareness and is available to all employees and contractors. Initiatives include:
- A lifestyle-focused Wellness Week, with over 500 participants in 2019
- Cancer awareness days and screening for prostate, breast and cervical cancers
- World HIV/AIDS Day commemoration, including voluntary testing and counselling
Other programs provide training and awareness on drugs and alcohol, diabetes and other lifestyle diseases, nutrition, social factors, health services and medical aids. An onsite clinic is available for all employees and contractors.
We are also active in the community and participate in events arranged by organizations such as the Namibian Blood Transfusion Services. In 2019, Dundee Precious Metals employees and contractors donated more than 126 pints of blood.
