Corporate Wellness
What is Corporate Wellness ?
The year of 2019-2020 was a transformational year for the corporate workforce worldwide. The Great Resignation—a mass exodus of the workforce that resulted from the pandemic not only changed the professional landscape but also reshaped workplace priorities.
Over the years, issues pertaining to employee wellbeing have become increasingly prominent. In the ever-evolving world of business and economics; implementing a holistic approach to employee well-being is vital.
Corporate Wellness is creating an environment of improving health and wellbeing of the employees and building a thriving culture of healthy connect, promote wellness learning, empower work life balance along with reducing employee health risks.
As companies recognize the substantial impact that employee health has on productivity, engagement, and overall organizational performance, the concept of corporate wellness has gained traction, transcending from a mere employee benefit to an integral part of progressive workplace culture.
What are Corporate Wellness Programs?
Corporate Wellness Programs are a set of workplace initiatives, policies, sessions or activities that are aimed at educating about and improving the overall health and wellbeing of the employees within the organization. These sessions incorporate a range of activities which are designed to enhance physical, mental and emotional health thereby creating a more positive and healthy work environment.
From stress management initiatives to physical health programs, these sessions comprise diverse approaches that centre on enhancing both mental and physical wellness. These efforts are instrumental in the prevention and management of chronic diseases, improvement of overall life satisfaction among employees while encouraging a positive and supportive workplace culture.
Why do you need Corporate Wellness Programs?
Today’s competitive environment is driving the professionals to work for long hours putting self-care, health and wellness in the backseat. It is a well-known fact that doctors recommend 10,000 steps a day for good health; yet the average employee barely manages 2,000 steps a day.
And it’s not just a personal issue—it’s a corporate one. A Deloitte survey shows nearly 80% of employees have experienced burnout at work.
According to WHO, corporate burnout is not a medical condition but rather an “occupational phenomenon” affecting health resulting “from chronic workplace stress”. This sedentary lifestyle is fuelling the rise of chronic illnesses like Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, obesity and even death in rare cases.
According to the International Labor Organization, about 2 million people globally lose their lives each year to workplace-related illnesses. In the U.S. alone, poor employee health costs companies $575 billion in lost productivity annually.
This is where corporate wellness programs come in. They have gone from being an “add-on” to an absolute essential. These programs reduce turnover and absenteeism and directly impact the health, wellbeing, environment and productivity of the employees and the organization.
