In a refreshing blend of corporate culture and healthy living, NEM Insurance Plc has taken a bold step toward promoting employee wellbeing with a vibrant fitness walk and health awareness campaign in Lagos.
The initiative highlights the company’s growing focus on preventive healthcare, staff wellness, and work-life balance—proving that success in business goes hand-in-hand with healthy living.
From Obanikoro to Maryland: A Walk for Wellness
The energetic fitness walk saw NEM staff trek from the company’s headquarters in Obanikoro along Ikorodu Road to Maryland and back—turning the city streets into a moving celebration of health and teamwork.
But this wasn’t just a walk—it was a purpose-driven campaign aimed at:
- Encouraging regular physical activity
- Promoting a healthy workplace culture
- Raising public awareness about the “NEM Care” brand philosophy
“Healthy Employees, Stronger Business”
Speaking at the event, the Managing Director/CEO, Andrew Ikekhua, emphasized the critical role of health in achieving peak performance.
According to him, fitness is no longer optional in today’s fast-paced world—it’s essential for longevity, productivity, and overall success.
He reaffirmed that NEM’s greatest strength lies in its people, noting that investing in their health is key to sustaining growth and maintaining a competitive edge in the insurance industry.
Beyond the Walk: A Full Wellness Experience
The campaign went beyond physical exercise, offering a comprehensive wellness experience for employees, including:
- Medical screenings for vital health checks
- Consultations on early disease detection
- Aerobics sessions to boost energy and fitness
- A fun table tennis tournament
- Celebration of staff birthdays to strengthen team spirit
The result? A vibrant atmosphere that reinforced a strong sense of community—what many proudly call the “NEM family.”
Reaching the Public with ‘NEM Care’
Taking the initiative beyond its workforce, NEM Insurance also engaged with residents across Lagos—educating them on the importance of protecting lives and property through insurance.
This public outreach underscores the company’s commitment to delivering exceptional service, trust, and care to every customer under its “NEM Care” philosophy.
The Bigger Picture
As organizations increasingly recognize the link between employee wellbeing and productivity, NEM Insurance is setting a strong example in Nigeria’s corporate landscape.
By prioritizing health, teamwork, and community engagement, the company is not only building a stronger workforce—but also reinforcing its leadership in the insurance sector.
