RGFPS Focal Person, Ms. Jessica Lucero believes that MGB-IX employees, specially women, who take both workforce and reproductive roles, should undergo regular physical check ups to ensure that they are physically fit to render services to its clients and stakeholders especially with the advent of this Covid-19 pandemic.
 
Meanwhile, MGBEA President Emma Deverala, also emphasized that in order to provide better services to its clients and stakeholders, the general welfare, such as health and wellness program, should be made available to its employees. A healthy workforce determines work effectiveness and efficiency among the employees.
 
This undertaking is well supported by the management through the leadership of OIC, Regional Director Hernani G. Abdon who is also a champion in promoting health and wellness among its employees.
