Top Employee Wellness Programs in Bangladesh
The Bangladesh and other countries have been focusing on employee wellness programs because it is important to be mentally healthy as well as physically. Mental health in particular has received a lot of attention but there’s also an emphasis now for corporates’ physical well being too.
A recent trend among businesses around the world includes signing up with different types or plans which include chronic disease management/prevention counseling dietary tips such smoking cessation classes etc. Below is a list of some of the top wellness programs run by businesses in Bangladesh:
Mental Health Counseling
An employee in the Bangladesh is experiencing chronic stress every second of their working day. Therapy or counseling can help reduce this, which improves well-being by reducing anxiety and increasing mindfulness as well! There are multiple EAP programs to get employees mental health issues taken care off at work.
Physical Therapy
At some point or another, we have all experienced physical pain. In the Bangladesh around 30% of employees report experiencing some form this as back pain and neck ache (more common). Companies offer Physio programs where they provide you with an online personal physiotherapist to help ease your symptoms when needed via office breaks or at home sessions through video teleconferencing software like Skype which also provides therapy exercises for those who can’t leave their house.
Yoga or Fitness Classes
Many businesses in the Bangladesh want to promote fitness or yoga at work. As a result, fitness sessions are a versatile instrument that may be used to improve physical, mental, and social well-being. Fitness classes do not always have to be limited to physical exercise. Guided meditation sessions are excellent methods for maintaining well-being and reducing stress.
Chronic disease management
The Bangladesh population has been seeing an increase rate due primarily from obesity related ailments like heart attacks high cholesterol levels strokes etc., which cost our economy billions per year on healthcare expenses alone. This is where companies come into play: they want their workers’ productivity back so they’re setting up prevention efforts starting early-on through education about how diet & exercise affects overall wellness.
Women health (PCOS | Fertility)
Women’s health is a key issue for employers. The Bangladesh corporate workforce consists of 40% female employees, and many companies are focusing on this group to create more women-centric programs such as PCOS & fertility treatment that promote healthier lifestyles in general.
Telemedicine
Telemedicine is a rapidly growing industry in the Bangladesh, and it’s especially popular among small businesses. With costs cut down to more affordable visits online-telemedics offer benefits that range from large corporations all the way down to your startup company.
Tobacco Cessation
With nearly one out of four employees succumbing to the harmful effects that are linked with tobacco use, it’s no surprise why employers in Bangladesh continue their pursuit for cessation programs.
