Slated to hold in Lagos with the theme ‘Employee Wellness for Productivity and Performance’, the summit will enlighten participants on how to run with the concept of a “Great Place to Work” and further promote Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices in the country.

Managing Consultant/ Chief Executive Officer, Sages and Scribes Consultants, Adelowo Adesina, said the summit will bring together employers of labour, Human Resource (HR) practitioners, EAP practitioners, medical personnel, occupational therapists, psychologist, educators and wellness enthusiasts to discuss workplace wellness, employee wellbeing, organisational performance, profitability, long-term sustainability, viable workplace benefit and psychosocial Risk Assessment and Management (RAM) in the workplace.

“It is no gainsaying that Nigerian workers are stressed, harassed, traumatised and burnt out. Just imagine what we all went through during the currency exchange exercise. Think of the emotional and psychological torture the average worker must have experienced. That should tell us as a nation that we need to begin to promote the health and wellness of our employees,” he said.

Stating that the summit will host reputable professional and corporate executives, as well as opinion leaders, he added that there would also be specialised workshops on stress management and work-life harmony; addiction and substance abuse; trauma management and workplace counseling principle and practice.
