WorkPlace

In a busy and target oriented working environment in Zimbabwe, employees and employers have limited access and knowledge of healthy behavior, general workplace wellness and Sexual reproductive health related issues. This then, adversely impacts employee’s ability to make empowered decisions relating to safer health practices, relationships and lifestyles. Regretably there is a huge unmet need for general workplace wellness, sexual reproductive health and rights as well as HIV and STIs.

The workplace project promotes and supports healthy behavior in the workplace, whilst advocating for improved employee health outcomes through awareness, education, and behavioral change.
