Wellness Consulting


 

During corporate wellness consulting, Metropolitan Wellness is able to review an organisation's current infrastructure, particularly with regards to wellness interventions. We look at implementing an integrated holistic approach towards health and wellness. Furthermore the consultancy process looks into the following:

 

Policy review and development

 

Metropolitan Wellness is well placed to assist your organisation in reviewing its health and wellness policies to ensure compliance and to communicate your commitment to total employee wellness. In consultation with the relevant stakeholders in your organisation, we will define your health and wellness policy/s and ensure that they are within the defined scope of your organisation's health and wellness strategy.

 

Actuarial Impact Assessment

 

Current South African Labour legislation requires companies to address their HIV/AIDS risk. Amongst others, the Employment Equity Act, the Code of Good Practice on Key Aspects of HIV/AIDS and Employment, and the Technical Assistance Guidelines released by the Department of Labour, provide the legislative framework and guidelines to assist organisations in managing their HIV/AIDS risk. Metropolitan Wellness can assist organisations in measuring current and projected HIV/AIDS risk through an HIV/AIDS Impact Assessment.

 

Knowledge, Attitudes, Behaviour Practices (KAPB) Survey

 

A KAPB survey can monitor progress made with the HIV/AIDS risk management programme. Ideally, a KAPB survey should be repeated every 18 months to evaluate progress, make necessary changes regarding the strategy and inform various stakeholders. The purpose of a KABP survey is to determine employees' potential risk of infection, to assess their level of education and understanding of the HIV infection, as well as possible discriminatory attitudes that exist.

 

Situational analysis

 

This phase will involve a systematic collection and study of past and present data to identify trends, forces, and conditions with the potential to influence the provision and positioning of employee wellness initiatives. This will also influence the choice of appropriate strategies. With data obtained from the aspects listed above, a strategic planning session aimed at prioritising actions according to client preference and best practise with a minimum disruption of operational issues, is conducted. The outcome will result in an implementation plan including some of the components offered by Metropolitan Wellness.

 

We aim to partner with your organisation to strengthen not only your bottom line, but also to enable a healthier, happier workforce. Take this step with us, and we will offer your organisation a free health survey to enable you to assess your organisational needs.
