IEC to host staff wellness retreat

The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) will conduct a staff wellness and team‑building retreat as part of its ongoing institutional capacity‑building and staff development programme.

According to IEC, the retreat seeks to strengthen the organisation’s readiness and ensure effective electoral service delivery in line with Lesotho’s constitutional, political and legal framework.

The programme will take place from 2 to  7 March 2026 in Durban, KwaZulu‑Natal Province, South Africa. This follows a structured programme designed to boost staff morale, enhance teamwork, and reinforce modern professional skills essential for election management.

“The purpose of the retreat is to boost staff wellbeing and morale, strengthen team cohesion outside the workplace, promote physical and mental wellbeing, and enhance technical readiness and organisational effectiveness ahead of the electoral cycle,” IEC said.

The electoral body reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining high standards of professionalism, transparency, and service delivery in fulfilling its constitutional mandate.
