Staying Strong: Enhancing employee growth and development

With the aim of boosting employee wellbeing, growth and development, our staff at Mugie, Loldia and in the Mara, took part in a wellness programme dubbed ‘Staying Strong’. This is a Wilderness group-wide initiative, with the sessions facilitated by Victor Mabachi from Free to Grow.

Free to Grow has already rolled out their programe across 36 countries worldwide – five of them in Africa – and the training has been translated into multiple languages including Kiswahili. In response to a growing concern from many of their clients about the impact of the Pandemic and other life stressors on employee wellbeing, Free To Grow developed their strategy, Staying Strong, early in 2020.

Their objective was to support organizations in creating a caring culture and identify values that enhance employee health and wellbeing. Statistics worldwide show that only around 5 – 7% of staff have access to a formal Employee Assistance Program (EAP). The rest are usually left to struggle along on their own. Staying Strong shifts the focus from ‘therapy for a few’ to ‘building the skills to maintain mental health for many’.

Boost a sense of ‘belonging’ within teams 

The programme and toolkit helps to build an employee’s emotional fitness and resilience so that they can persevere during tough times, while the theory and practice of the training inspires and encourages them to contribute fully to the course.

“The Staying Strong training is one that every employee should undergo. The training not only enhances our engagement with our associates, but teaches us how to improve our well-being both at work, and at home” ~ Felix Ogembo, Manager, Governors’ Camp.
