Unlike most other companies, our corporate social investment programme has both an outward and an inward focus. For us, the wellbeing of our staff is of the utmost importance, and we have numerous ways of supporting them. Our initiatives include a bi-annual wellness day, Aids awareness training and first aid courses. Our comprehensive assistance programme includes the following services:

• Psychological Counselling: Psychosocial counselling services are available to employees and their dependants in all South Africa's official languages. These services are provided 24 hours a day via dedicated toll-free access to a national support centre. Employees and dependants can also be referred to one of our professional affiliates for face-to-face, short-term counseling.
• Life Management Services: The life management service offers telephonic information on and assistance with legal problems, financial concerns and family matters. The service entails detailed, practical information, education, resources and referrals to help individuals manage their work-life responsibilities.
• eCare Online Services: The eCare service is a unique online wellbeing portal that allows employees access to health and wellbeing information, interactive tools and professional advisory services.
