Edwin Greene, Chairperson of the Sport & Recreational Club with Susan Searles taking a look at at Tamarind Hotel’s Health Fair offerings.
Staff of the Ying Yang Spa were on hand to offer employees neck and shoulder massages.
WIBISCO representatives offered samples of the brand’s healthier choices.
Employees of Tamarind Hotel gathered for their second annual Health Fair last Thursday.
The initiative culminated a month of activities which saw staff participating in the Barbados Cancer Society’s Breast Cancer Walk, a family fun day and lecture on Non-Communicable Diseases.
Recognising the busy life of a hotel worker, the Sports and Recreational Club is ensuring that everyone embraces a healthy lifestyle especially as they gear up for the upcoming tourist season which gets underway in November.
Edwin Greene, Chairperson of the Club revealed to The Barbados Advocate that staff of the Payne’s Bay St. James Property, along with their family and friends had the opportunity to have their blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure check, as well as speak with representatives from the Diabetes Association, Cancer Society and Nutrition Centre.
Staff were also able to stock up on their vitamins from Fresh Vitamins and sample products – all healthy choices from BICO ice cream, Wibisco and PriceSmart. In addition, the Ying Yang Spa located at Tamarind offered five minute neck and shoulder massages.
“We just wanted to do something for the staff because we are constantly on our feet and some of us don’t get a chance to get that needed check-up. This is the second year and response by staff has been good, so we want to host this event every year, making it bigger and better each time,” he expressed. (TL)
