At the core of any organizational wellness initiative is the notion of providing each and every employee with the opportunity to take part in a personal wellness assessment. In fact, it is such an important component that it is virtually impossible to establish any type of effective wellness program without it.

If people, firstly don’t understand their present personal state of wellness and secondly aren’t able to objectively quantify it, it’s highly unlikely that improvements will occur just due to the simple fact that employees have no idea if, when, and how much they need to change.

Wellness Africa have developed scientifically validated health & wellness assessments based on international best practice principles. Some of our assessments widely used are the multi-dimensional wellness assessment, work & lifestyle assessment and the health risk assessment. All three these assessments come with a high quality report for the individual and groups (where applicable).
