Abstract
This article examines the impact of health initiatives at Mubimbi Hospital on employee performance. The study aims to evaluate how these programs influence motivation, productivity, and service quality. Staff health is crucial in a hospital, as it reduces absenteeism and ensures optimal care. Using a mixed-method approach with 69 employees, data was collected through surveys, interviews, and observations. Results show high participation in vaccination campaigns (78.3%) and screening (66.7%), which are seen as beneficial for physical and mental health. Most employees (52.2%) rate their performance as highly satisfactory, and 64.3% feel these initiatives have reduced their stress. However, barriers such as lack of time (68.1%), limited information (52.2%), and resources (42.0%) hinder effectiveness. The findings highlight the need to improve communication, planning, and resource allocation. On a broader level, promoting health in the public hospital sector increases efficiency, reduces costs, and boosts patient satisfaction. While physical prevention activities have strong participation, mental health support requires strengthening. Employees also emphasize the importance of increasing activity frequency (76.8%) and better communication (74%), along with incentives and psychological support. Overall, improving organizational support and targeted programs is essential for sustaining positive outcomes and enhancing healthcare quality.
