What does it take to redefine the boundaries of wellness? How are wellness strategies enhancing employee engagement and morale? Do these initiatives also boost productivity? In today’s evolving corporate landscape, these questions are more relevant than ever. Wellness has moved from being just a buzzword to a strategic imperative. Yet, according to a recent report, nearly 76% of employees report extremely low levels of workplace well-being, highlighting the need for more comprehensive wellness programs.
The rise of the hybrid work model, coupled with a greater emphasis on mental health support has reshaped how companies view employee well-being, pushing them to accelerate efforts in creating positive workspaces. Wellness is no longer just another task—it’s about meaningful programs that truly engage employees.
From virtual meditation sessions and mindfulness apps to regular breaks and flexible work arrangements, forward-thinking companies are redefining the wellness paradigm. But how do we recognise the leadership driving these transformative initiatives?
The Prostar Recognition Awards 2024, powered by Medibuddy and People Matters, spotlights visionaries who have pioneered successful wellness programs. Celebrating its landmark third edition this year, the annual awards aim to confer on companies driving the nation to achieve its ultimate potential in enabling holistic health and well-being.
Looking back at the Medibuddy Buddies of Wellness | Star Wellness Programs 2023, the focus was on companies helping employees develop healthier lifestyles by providing them resources to deal with burnout, mental health issues, and digital fatigue.
