Kevin Beutler on Why You Should Never Overlook Self-Care

Published

on

The pandemic pushed the importance of taking better care of your health to the forefront. Those who could work from home did so to isolate themselves. Those who did not have that option had to be alert and focus on ensuring all safety and preventive measures. However, even before COVID-19 struck, Kevin always focused on his health and encouraged his team to do the same. He shares three reasons why one shouldn’t compromise on health: the financial cost of major illnesses, the impact on the workplace, and the impact on families.

“In both a personal and professional sense, a person should never compromise their health,” says Kevin. “Illnesses can lead to a multitude of problems that might have lifelong effects on a person. When it comes to the workplace, this means reduced productivity across the board. Since the sick person cannot work or can only do so in a limited capacity, their work is reallocated to others who already have full schedules. As a result, lines of communication break down when phone calls and emails go unanswered. And as for mental and emotional health, other people’s work performances might suffer due to the concern over a colleague.”

Kevin knows self-care can be pushed to the back burner in the pursuit of success. He personally went through the same and is determined to never compromise on health again. By getting enough rest, eating as well as p possible, taking breaks when necessary, and asking sick employees to take paid leaves,  Kevin has created a health standard for himself and his coworkers. For those who still neglect their health, Kevin tries to lead by example and gently remind them that pushing themselves too hard can derail their work and cause problems.

Even for the healthiest of people, burning the candle at both ends can lead to conditions like depression, anxiety, high blood pressure, heart attacks, and strokes. It is imperative to find a balance between hard work and well-being. Kevin also considers the personal impact illnesses can have on an employee and their family. He puts across a simple question for those who do not prioritize their health even today: what good is success if you cannot enjoy it?

Ken Ofori Atta remains wanted despite US immigration proceedings- OSP announces

Published

on

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has clarified that former Finance Minister Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta remains the subject of criminal proceedings in Ghana and is still wanted under a valid arrest warrant issued by the High Court in Accra.

In a public notice, the OSP said it had taken note of a transcript of a hearing from a United States immigration court that has been circulated by some media organisations.

According to the office, the document has been interpreted by some to suggest that Mr. Ofori-Atta has not been credibly charged or linked to any wrongdoing in Ghana.

The OSP rejected that interpretation, explaining that it is not involved in Mr. Ofori-Atta’s immigration proceedings in the United States.

It said its involvement relates only to extradition proceedings, which are being handled through Ghana’s Attorney-General as the country’s central authority.

According to the OSP, the extradition documents are not before the US immigration court and the court has no authority to determine whether the criminal charges against Mr. Ofori-Atta are credible.

“The credibility or otherwise of the criminal charges against Mr. Ofori-Atta is a matter for determination by the courts in Ghana,” the OSP stated.

The office explained that there are three separate legal proceedings involving the former minister.

These include the immigration proceedings in the United States concerning his immigration status, extradition proceedings to determine whether he should be returned to Ghana, and the criminal case before the High Court in Accra involving corruption and corruption-related offences.

The OSP reiterated that Mr. Ofori-Atta remains before the High Court in Accra as an accused person and that a valid warrant has been issued for his arrest.

It maintained that he remains a fugitive from justice in Ghana and is required to appear before the High Court to answer the charges against him.

The Special Prosecutor also stressed that the criminal proceedings in Ghana would continue in accordance with the law and the directives of the High Court, whether or not Mr. Ofori-Atta is physically present in the country.
