SANTERNO HEALTH AND WELLNESS

Boost your company & productivity through better employee wellness

ABOUT US

Medical aid companies and employers experience two common problems in conducting and benefiting from employee wellness assessments. Firstly, they have difficulty mobilising the human resources required to conduct large-scale employee wellness and occupational health assessment and secondly, they do not always take advantage of the results of these assessments. Qualified and reliable health workers are not always easy to identify which often leads to failure of the wellness events. Even if the events succeed, the information gathered is not always analysed and presented in an intelligible way. Often there are no dedicated resources to conduct follow-ups with at-risk employees.

We established Santerno with the aim of solving both problems. Our approach is to complement the medical aid companies by providing front line resources able to conduct wellness assessments at the employer’s premises. Since establishment, Santerno has gained a foothold in the employee wellness space and is gaining traction in occupational health assessments. We have a database of nursing staff in most major centres and have conducted over 200 wellness assessments across the country. What sets us apart is the ability to mobilise resources and get the job done however big or small. Depending on the customer’s requirements, we either provide the raw data from the wellness assessments or we will present a report that highlights key observations from the assessments.
