Employees periodically engage in organisational sport activities with business stakeholders and neighbouring communities to promote physical and mental wellbeing as well as provide a conduit for social intercourse between one or more water utilities.
Disease management
LNW recognises the impact that occupational and non-occupational diseases have on productivity. To this end subjecting new and existing employees to pre-, periodic and post health screenings, health education and incapacity management is a matter of policy.
Therapeutic services
Work/life balance has never received attention than in modern times. At LNW counselling services are provided for employees presenting with personal and work-related challenges that negatively affect their job performance and/or work behaviour. Further , targeted stress management interventions o address stress patterns pertinent to managers and supervisors are offered
Absenteeism management
The analysis of absenteeism trends on a quarterly basis with the aim of mitigating the causes and eventually reduce absenteeism becomes necessary to combat the impact of HIV and AIDS, and other life-threatening diseases on productivity.
Personal financial management
LNW recognises the psychological impact of poor personal financial management on employee wellbeing and to this end provides appropriate interventions to mitigate this stressor. Failure to capacitate employees experiencing poor personal financial management may lead to increased absenteeism and/or presenteeism.
