This list does not include centrally managed services such as the nation-wide workplace wellness days, the workplace clinics, the online programmes and more. These are independent initiatives, almost or entirely initiated, funded and managed by the respective businesses themselves (occasionally with some central support), demonstrating how wellness is very much alive at Sanlam. Please let us know of similar initiatives in your workplace, or how we might help you – just email info@sanlambewell.co.za .
