The strongest steel is forged under pressure, but even steel requires care to maintain its strength. It was this powerful analogy that shaped Uganda Baati’s Men of Steel: A Life and Wellness Conversation, an employee wellness engagement held under the Safal Circles initiative. Bringing together male employees from across the business, the session created a safe and open environment to discuss mental health, career growth, relationships, physical wellbeing and work life balance, reaffirming the company’s belief that caring for its people is central to building a high- performing organisation. As workplaces become increasingly demanding, conversations around mental wellbeing are no longer optional. Delivering the keynote conversation was former media executive Robert Kabushenga, whose honest and relatable storytelling immediately resonated with the audience. He challenged participants to reflect on their own lives, reminding them that success is built not only through professional achievement but also through self-awareness, healthy relationships and continuous personal growth. Kabushenga observed that leadership begins with taking responsibility for one’s own wellbeing and that seeking support when necessary is a mark of wisdom rather than weakness. His practical insights on purpose, discipline and resilience sparked thoughtful conversations throughout the room. George Arodi, the Uganda Baati CEO, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to building a workplace where employees thrive beyond their job descriptions. He explained that while Uganda Baati manufactures steel solutions that strengthen communities, the company is equally committed to strengthening the people who make that success possible.The post Kabushenga advocates for men’s wellbeing at workplaces appeared first on The Observer Media Ltd.
