Gold Coast and GN Networks held their maiden Family Day Out over the weekend at the Lizzy Sports Complex.
Explaining the rationale of the ‘Family Day’ to the media, the Chief Executive Officer of Gold Coast, Kwame Ofori Asomaning, said a stable mind brings about productivity at work so Gold Coast cannot afford to miss out.
“You can work very well and be very productive when there is peace at home so we at Gold Coast want to achieve the two,” he indicated.
He noted that for many of them, it had always been about work, and that was the time for them to burn some calories, rejuvenate their bodies, something they would continue doing.
On his part the General Manager for Gold Coast Nana Boakye Mensah urged employers to pay particular attention to the health and wellbeing of their staff.
Research has shown that about 77% of people in offices across the country are regularly experiencing physical malfunctions caused by stress.
Nana Boakye revealed the ‘Family Day Out’ would be replicated at all their 18 branches countrywide. “Even in Elmina when we are doing our Annual Management Review, we always dedicate Saturdays for families to come together”, he reminisced.
There were bouncing castles for children, basketball games, dancing competitions, Oware, ludo and football.
