This story of wellness unfolds in a well-known organization with its roots in Africa and with global presence; an organization that’s been around and stayed around for over 115 years.

The concept of wellness is expanded to encompass all-round psychological as well as physical well-being in the business arena.‘Icebergs in Africa’ does not set out to answer the many questions pertaining to wellness at work; rather, it sets out to define a different view on wellness, to ask some important questions, to explain aspects of the De Beers approach, and to explain how a journey that appears to be so organizationally relevant held great personal relevance too.

With a career background that is grounded in HR, but also spans communications and journalism; and a personal interest in what makes people well and unwell in a corporate setting, Julie designed the approach, context and model for Wellness in De Beers. She led the development and piloting of this work in diverse De Beers environments.
