Prioritising Preventive Health for a More Productive Workforce

This article highlights the importance of preventive healthcare programs for businesses in Nigeria. Traditional healthcare systems struggle to address chronic diseases, and absenteeism due to illness can significantly reduce productivity. Businesses can combat this by implementing preventative healthcare programs that include health screenings, fitness initiatives, and stress management. These programs not only improve employee well-being but also lead to increased productivity and financial gain.

However, implementing these programs comes with challenges, such as employee disinterest and limited access to affordable healthcare. To overcome these hurdles, businesses can partner with HMOs like Reliance HMO to provide employees with proactive care, telemedicine services, and educational resources. This collaborative approach empowers employees to take charge of their health and fosters a healthier and more productive work environment.
