Old Mutual launches Staff Wellness Centre
Old Mutual Namibia today marked a meaningful milestone with the launch of its Staff Wellness Centre, a dedicated space designed to support the holistic well-being of its employees. The launch reflects the organisation’s continued commitment to creating a workplace where wellness is not treated as an add on, but as an essential part of how people work, support one another, and deliver on the company’s purpose. The Centre offers a wide range of services focused on physical, mental and emotional well-being. At its core, it provides primary health care services, with a qualified nurse on site to assist employees.
It also serves as a hub for broader wellness initiatives, including basic wellness screenings and access to relaxation spaces such as massage chairs. Speaking at the launch, Old Mutual Namibia Group Human Capital Executive, Ramona Itembu, said the Centre represents a deliberate and long-term investment in the well-being of employees. “Our people are at the heart of everything we do. Launching this Wellness Centre is about making sure they have access to the support they need, not only when they are unwell, but as part of their everyday lives. We want to create an environment where taking care of your well-being is normal, accessible and encouraged,” she said. She added that the initiative is about more than just services, but about shaping a culture where employees feel supported in all aspects of their lives.
“This space reflects the kind of organisation we are building. One where people feel seen, supported and empowered to be at their best, both at work and beyond. When our people are well, they are more engaged, more present and better able to serve our customers and communities.” The Staff Wellness Centre will play an important role in embedding well-being into the everyday experience of employees, reinforcing Old Mutual Namibia’s ongoing focus on employee well-being and organisational culture.
