What is an Employee Wellness Program?

Employee wellness programs, also referred to as worksite wellness programs or employee well-being programs refer to a collection of initiatives within an organization to promote healthy lifestyles among employees.

A recent survey reveals that over 70% of employees in Myanmar suffer from work stress or a chronic health condition. This costs 35% productivity loss to Myanmar companies. Employee wellness programs keep your employees healthy and productive, helping you reduce this productivity loss. 

Top Employee Wellness Programs in Myanmar

Employee wellness programs in Myanmar typically focus on 2 key dimensions: Employee mental and physical health. Mental health or Employee assistance programs have been the primary focus area for most companies in Myanmar. Lately, corporates in Myanmar have started signing up for physical wellness programs as well. Physical health or wellness programs typically include activities such as chronic disease management, nutrition counseling, smoking cessation, etc. Below is a list of some of the top wellness programs run by businesses in Myanmar:

Mental Health Counseling

Every second an employee in Myanmar is experiencing Chronic Stress. Therapy or counseling improves employee well-being by reducing stress and anxiety, developing more mindfulness, and promoting better sleep. There are multiple mental health or employee assistance (EAP) programs that help companies in Myanmar run employee counseling sessions.

Physical Therapy

Over 30% of employees in Myanmar experience some form of physical pain such as back pain or neck pain. Companies offer Physical therapy programs where a personal online physio is assigned to the employee. Workers can take physiotherapy sessions using office breaks or at home. 

Yoga or Fitness Classes

Many Myanmar companies are looking to encourage Yoga or fitness during the workday. As such, fitness classes are a versatile tool that can address physical, mental, and social well-being. Fitness classes do not necessarily need to be limited to physical fitness. Guided meditation sessions are great ways to improve well-being and manage stress.

Chronic disease management

Chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension affect over 25% of all workforce in Myanmar. Both diabetes and hypertension are lifestyle disorders and can be cured via positive changes in diet and exercise routine. Given their significant impact on employee productivity and wellbeing, several companies in Myanmar have started hypertension and diabetes reversal programs.

Women health (PCOS | Fertility)

Considering women make up nearly half of Myanmar’s corporate workforce, it’s important for employers to focus on women’s health issues. Companies today offer several women-centric health programs such as PCOS & fertility treatment.

Telemedicine

With the promise of controlling costs with more online affordable visits, telemedicine has surged over the last decade in Myanmar. In its early history, telemedicine was a benefit primarily reserved for larger employers in Myanmar. However, with recent cost reductions, telemedicine is now offered by small businesses/ startups in Myanmar as well.

Tobacco Cessation

Nearly one out of four employees in Myanmar could benefit from a tobacco cessation or de-addiction program. The adverse impact of tobacco use is so strong that employers in Myanmar continue to see financial and non-financial reasons to pursue cessation programs.

Weight Management

Weight management programs specifically focus on helping employees achieve a healthy weight. With a primary focus on exercise and nutrition, weight management programs hope to reduce the health risks of employees in Myanmar.

Frequently Asked Question's

EAP or Employee Assistance Program is a scheme offered by companies in Myanmar to help workers with personal problems, such as personal or work-related issues. EAP programs typically offer employees free access to assessments and counseling.

EAPs in Myanmar are focused primarily on mental health and stress issues, which are solved using counseling. Employee wellness programs, however, take a broader approach and address mental health, physical health as well as lifestyle issues. 

Several companies in Myanmar have a dedicated member in the HR team who looks after employee assessment and support. Following steps are following in designing a wellness program:

  1. Step 1: Conduct Assessments.
  2. Step 2: Get Management Support. 
  3. Step 3: Build a Wellness Committee.
  4. Step 4: Promote Goals and Objectives.
  5. Step 5: Establish a Budget. 
  6. Step 6: Select Wellness Program Incentives or Rewards. …
  7. Step 8: Communicate the Wellness Plan.

Based on a poll with different companies in Myanmar, large companies (>1000 employees) spend over $200 per employee per month on employee wellness and health benefits. Smaller companies in Myanmar, on the other hand, spend around $60 per employee per month. 

The wellbeing of your employees ultimately affects your workplace and business performance. Following are some of the costs that a typical large company in Myanmar may incur due to wellness and health issues (based on Mercer data):

High Turnover: Employee attrition costs 90%–200% of a departing employee’s salary

High Absenteeism: 78% of employees miss work due to mental health concerns

Lost Productivity: Productivity losses linked to absenteeism & turnover cost ~$2,000 per employee.

Comparing this $2,000 loss with the $200 wellness spend per employee, the ROI seems to be great for employers in Myanmar.
