It really pays off down the line with greater customer satisfaction ratings too (in fact 74%).
Top Employee Wellness Programs in Switzerland
Employees in the Switzerland typically receive care for their mental and physical health. In Switzerland, most corporations have focused on providing employee assistance programs (EAPs) to deal with employees’ psychological needs. However recently some companies are also opting into more comprehensive wellness initiatives that include managing chronic diseases or promoting healthier lifestyles among other things such as weight management counseling through diet changes if necessary. Below is a list of some of the top wellness programs run by businesses in Switzerland:
Mental Health Counseling
Every second an employee in the Switzerland is experiencing chronic stress. Therapy or counseling improves their well-being by reducing anxiety and promoting better sleep, all while developing more mindfulness to live a healthier life with less reliance on mental strain for success at work! There are many programs available that help companies provide employees assistance sessions so they can overcome these issues; this way you’ll have happier staff members who produce higher quality output as compared to those without emotional support systems.
Physical Therapy
Medical research has shown that over 30% of Switzerland experience some form physical pain, and companies are starting to offer programs for their employees. A physiotherapist will be assigned online so workers can take sessions when it is convenient or at home on break time.
Yoga or Fitness Classes
Yoga or fitness classes are an effective tool that can be used to improve physical, mental and social well-being. Yoga is an ancient practice which has been adopted by millions worldwide including Switzerland for its benefits on stress management among many other things such as enhancing flexibility and strengthening muscles amongst others. Fitness training may not just be limited towards improving one’s health but also includes guided meditation sessions.
Chronic disease management

-The output tone should remain simple
“With over 25% of workforce living with diabetes or hypertension there has been an increase on how many businesses are focusing on wellness.”
Women health (PCOS | Fertility)
Women’s health is an important topic for employers to address. The Switzerland corporate workforce, which is almost half women in number, faces a variety of issues related with their general well-being and productivity levels due to PCOS & fertility treatment programs offered by organizations today that provide them support at workplace as well as after coming back from treatments
It can be tough juggling work life while taking care yourself but there are many ways establishments have adopted not only accommodate this need (with varying degrees).
Telemedicine
Telemedicine is the future of healthcare in Switzerland. With more affordable visits, telemedics are taking away from traditional providers and it’s only a matter of time before this becomes common place for everyone to see.
Tobacco Cessation
Nearly one out of four employees in the Switzerland could benefit from a tobacco cessation or de-addiction program. The adverse impact to health is so strong that employers continue seeing financial and non-financial reasons for pursuing these programs, even as more people are quitting on their own time without encouragement from company policy.
Weight Management
The health risks associated with being overweight or obese are well known. A recent study found that these employees in Switzerland incur a greater chance of developing heart disease, diabetes and other illnesses than those who maintain healthy weights; it’s no wonder more companies have started providing weight management programs in order to help their staff live healthier lives.
