Jospong Group holds health screening for staff

The Jospong Group of companies has held a health screening for its staff.

The health screening which was under the theme “Our staff our heroes’ was held at its headquarters in Accra for staff of its subsidiaries.

The initiative, which forms part of activities to mark the Jospong Groups Employees Month slated for May every year, is to keep the staff in good health.

The Managing Director of Zoomlion Private Services, Mr. Edwin Amoako, explained that due to work overload and staff trying to meet their targets, they tend to forego medical check-ups therefore the Jospong Group initiated the health screening to enable the staff to take some time off to check their health status.

Staff are dedicated to meeting targets and therefore hardly go for check-ups, so as part of our employee’s month we instituted a health screening to cater for their health,” Mr. Amoako explained.

He added that apart from the screening, the staff were also advised on how to keep their health in shape through excersing and checking their diets.

The Human Capital Manager of Zoomlion, Eric Osei Annor, noted that it is the responsibility of the employer to ensure that its staff are in good health if it wants to maximize their human capital.

Therefore, we put this together because “We want to ensure that staff are healthy and safe.”

Through this exercise I got to know that my blood level is low,” narrated a staff.

“The screening has been helpful; I was advised to check my health status regularly and not wait till I fall sick” another employee noted.
