Nurturing a culture of wellness is central to Empact Group’s ethos, as CEO, Alan Quinn explains: “At Empact Group, our motto, ‘We do right by you,’ extends far beyond our clients. It is a promise we make to our employees, to foster a supportive environment that promotes physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
The success of our business is inherently tied to the health and happiness of our people, and it is our responsibility as an employer to create opportunities that enable them to thrive.”
The day kicked off with a stretching session led by Alan followed by a high energy 3km corporate walk, followed by a series of wellness activities designed to engage employees in improving their overall health. Representatives from Discovery Health and Mobicare were on hand to provide comprehensive health screenings, ensuring staff had the chance to gain insights into their physical well-being.

Blood donation drives, facilitated by the South African National Blood Service, allowed employees to give back while taking care of their own health.
Financial well-being was also front and centre, with educational talks from financial institutions like FNB and Momentum. These sessions highlighted the critical role that financial stability plays in overall wellness, offering practical advice to help employees achieve a healthier balance between their professional and personal lives.
The day culminated in the announcement of the winners of Empact Group’s internal “Biggest Loser” competition, which began in July and encouraged employees across all regions to take steps towards a healthier lifestyle. This challenge exemplified the company’s proactive approach to wellness, inspiring employees to invest in their long-term health and fitness.
Promoting Wellness at Every Turn
Empact Group’s Employee Wellness Day was more than just a corporate event, it was a celebration of the company’s ongoing commitment to employee health. The Blendavenda Smoothie Bike, a fun and interactive feature of the day, saw employees blend their own smoothies by pedalling a bike, a hands-on reminder that wellness can be enjoyable and rewarding.
Our goal is to create an environment where employees can flourish, both personally and professionally. A healthy workforce is a productive one, and we are proud to support our employees on their wellness journey.
This wellness initiative reflects Empact Group’s broader strategy to ensure that its employees are not just contributors to the business’s success but are fully supported individuals who can lead balanced, healthy lives. By integrating wellness into the company culture, Empact Group is paving the way for a future where its staff can excel in every aspect of their lives.
