We understand that running a small or medium-sized business in Nigeria requires dedication and a high level of energy. However, in the rush to meet deadlines and manage finances, health is often neglected. Prioritizing health is essential for long-term success and optimal performance.

So, how do you keep your team healthy without spending a fortune?

The answer lies in a few simple, consistent habits and smarter healthcare choices.

Here are essential health tips to keep your team agile and effective:

I. Encourage Regular Health Checkups

Preventive care is often more cost-effective than emergency care. Promote annual health screenings to catch issues like hypertension, diabetes, and infections early.

ii. Prioritize Breaks and Hydration

Don’t let your team burn out. Encourage staff to take short breaks, stretch, and drink water regularly. A 5-minute recharge can boost focus and reduce stress.

iii. Get Covered with a Trusted HMO Plan

Healthcare emergencies can happen at any time. Enrolling in a reliable HMO plan, such as NEM Health’s SME Plan, ensures your team has access to affordable hospitals, specialists, and emergency care.

Stay protected. Get HMO coverage that fits your business.

4. Promote Healthy Eating

Swap junk food for fruits, veggies, or balanced snacks at the office. Even small changes can improve energy and focus.

5. Support Mental Wellness

Mental well-being is equally critical. Under the pressure of running a small-to-medium enterprise (SME), stress can build up quietly until it becomes overwhelming. Encourage open communication, listen actively, and reduce unnecessary stress. Also, offer flexible hours whenever possible. When employees feel heard and supported, they’re more resilient and more engaged.

Ultimately, a healthy team is your business’s greatest asset. Don’t wait for something to go wrong before acting. Start small. Start now. And if you’re thinking about affordable coverage that meets your business where it is, the NEM Health SME Plan is built just for you.
