In a dedicated effort to prioritise the health and well-being of its employees, SKOL Brewery Ltd started a Health Awareness Week on Tuesday, July 2nd. The initiative, undertaken together with Breast Cancer Initiative East Africa (BCIEA), demonstrates the Brewery’s commitment to employee wellness and fostering a health-conscious culture within the company.
Aligned with the Brewery’s priorities, the Health Awareness Week aims to address health issues affecting the workforce and human beings in general.
Throughout the awareness week, employees will have the opportunity to participate in informative sessions focused on raising awareness about Non-Communicable Diseases. Expert speakers will provide valuable insights into prevention strategies, lifestyle modifications, and early detection measures to mitigate the risks associated with these prevalent health conditions.
A pivotal component of the Health Awareness Week is the provision of breast cancer screening for all employees, both men and women. Recognising the significance of early detection in combating cancer, SKOL Brewery Ltd has partnered with Breast Cancer Initiative East Africa (BCIEA) to facilitate on-site screening services. This proactive approach to cancer screening underscores the company's commitment to promoting preventive healthcare measures and supporting employee health initiatives.
Mrs. Winifred Kabega, Human Resources Director, emphasized the importance of employee health, stating that providing access to health education and screening empowers employees to make informed health decisions.
The Health Awareness Week reflects SKOL Brewery Ltd’s dedication to a supportive, health-conscious work environment. It aligns with the company's broader mission of promoting employee well-being and corporate social responsibility emphasising the importance of a healthy life. To this end, SKOL Brewery Ltd provides "Mutuelle de Santé” for vulnerable individuals in the surrounding community.
