NP (SL) Limited on Saturday, 14 February 2026, conducted its monthly staff health walk from the Freetown Golf Club to Aberdeen, as part of its ongoing workplace wellness programme aimed at promoting employee health, productivity and organizational sustainability.

Kanu, and staff from multiple departments, providing a platform for physical activity, staff interaction and engagement on health-related challenges associated with contemporary work environments. The initiative forms part of the company’s internal wellness framework, which integrates health awareness into its corporate culture.
After the walk, a health talk was delivered on stress management, highlighting the impact of work-related stress on productivity, mental health and overall performance. Participants were educated on recognizing stress triggers, adopting healthy coping mechanisms and maintaining work-life balance. Key strategies discussed included regular physical exercise, adequate rest, effective time management, open communication and seeking professional or peer support when necessary. The session also underscored the role of organizational support systems in reducing workplace stress and enhancing employee resilience.
Speaking on the initiative, Finance and Accounts Manager, Macrae Consvonne, stated that the monthly health walk was introduced as part of Management’s broader commitment to staff welfare and organizational efficiency. He explained that the initiative emerged from Management discussions on improving employee performance and well-being, noting that healthier employees are more productive and contribute positively to corporate performance objectives.
He further disclosed that NP (SL) Limited has implemented several policies and programmes to support both physical and mental wellness, coordinated through the Human Resources department. He cited regular monthly and annual staff engagement activities, including a Family Day, as well as performance recognition and long-service awards designed to promote motivation, bonding and appreciation among staff.
Thee Finance and Accounts Manager encouraged other corporate institutions to adopt similar wellness and team-building initiatives, noting that such programmes not only improve physical health but also strengthen interpersonal relationships within organisations, particularly where employees operate across different locations and departments. He emphasized that structured investment in staff recognition and wellbeing contributes significantly to organizational cohesion, morale and productivity.
The monthly health walk continues to serve as a cornerstone of NP (SL) Limited’s employee wellness agenda, reinforcing the company’s focus on sustaining a healthy, motivated and high-performing workforce.
