Workplace Wellness Africa

Work-Life Balance Is Not a Perk.
It Is Infrastructure.

We consult with organisations to build the conditions where people can actually thrive — and we use that work to fund a broader fight against the stigma, silence, and outdated policies that keep African workplaces stuck.

How We Work

Our consulting revenue funds our advocacy. This is not a side project — it is the engine that makes the mission sustainable.

Organisational Consulting

We work directly with businesses to design work environments where balance is built into the structure — not left to individual willpower. This includes financial literacy programmes, mental wellbeing education for employees, and audits of workplace policies that quietly erode human capacity.

Our Consulting Services

Education & Training

Most managers have never been trained to recognise burnout, and most employees have never been taught to manage money. We deliver culturally grounded curricula on mental health literacy, financial planning, and the early warning signs that organisations tend to ignore until it is too late.

Training Programmes

Advocacy & Reform

Across Africa, mental illness is still routinely misattributed to spiritual causes, and employees who need therapy cannot access it without a clinical sick note for a "physical" ailment. We advocate for evidence-based mental health assessment, responsible prescribing practices, and workplace policies flexible enough to accommodate human beings.

What People Say

Real feedback from the organisations and individuals we've worked with.

"The wellness audit opened our eyes. We thought we were doing fine — the data showed us we were losing people. Within three months of implementing the recommendations, our retention improved noticeably."

— HR Director, Manufacturing Sector

"The articles on this site feel like they were written by someone who actually works in a Kenyan office. No corporate fluff — just real talk. I've shared the burnout article with my entire department."

— Senior Analyst, Financial Services

"We brought them in for a half-day workshop. Our team is still talking about it weeks later. The facilitator didn't just lecture — they understood our specific challenges and worked through them with us."

— Operations Manager, NGO Sector

"I took the self-assessment quiz and it was a wake-up call. I scored in the 'high risk' zone. The recommended articles helped me understand what was happening to my body and what to do about it."

— Project Manager, Tech Company

"The financial wellness component was unexpected but so needed. Many of our staff were drowning in loan stress and it was killing productivity. Nobody else talks about this."

— CEO, SME in Nairobi

"Finally, a wellness resource that speaks to the African workplace reality — not imported frameworks that don't apply here. This is exactly what our industry needs."

— L&D Lead, East African Corporate

The Problem Nobody Talks About

In many parts of Africa, an employee showing signs of depression or anxiety is more likely to be taken to a traditional healer than referred to a mental health professional. The symptoms are attributed to spiritual attack. The "treatment" is ritual, not clinical assessment.

Meanwhile, the employees who do see a doctor are often handed sleeping pills for stress-induced insomnia — because the root cause (overwork, rigid leave policies, no access to therapy during working hours) is never addressed. The pill manages the symptom. The system remains untouched.

We exist because these are not edge cases. They are the norm. And they will remain the norm until somebody builds the alternative — informed assessment, responsible prescribing, and workplace policies that treat mental health with the same seriousness as physical safety.
