What is an Employee Wellness Program?
Employee wellness programs are a great way for businesses of all sizes to promote healthy lifestyles among their employees. The recent survey reveals that over 70% of Sri Lanka-based workers suffer from work stress or have chronic health conditions, costing the country an estimated 45% productivity loss annually. That’s where employee well being comes in with its variety initiatives. By keeping your staff happy and healthy you can reduce this rate significantly while still providing them security at home too.
Top Employee Wellness Programs in Sri Lanka
For employees in the Sri Lanka, wellness programs typically only focus on two key dimensions: mental and physical health. Mental Health or Employee Assistance Programs have been used as a primary area for most companies to provide their staff with support; lately Sri Lanka has seen an increase of corporations signing up for Technical Wellness sessions too – these include activities such chronic disease management (including diabetes), nutrition counseling, smoking cessation etc. Below is a list of some of the top wellness programs run by businesses in Sri Lanka:
Mental Health Counseling
There are a variety of mental healthcare services available in Sri Lanka including individual therapy sessions that allow you to talk about what’s bothering most at work with someone neutral well- disposed towards both parties involved; group CBT (cognitive behavior) training which combines lectures by an expert therapist along wih exercises conducted through small groups under supervision from trained professionals.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapist can help you get back on your feet. Over 30% percent of employees in the Sri Lanka experience some form of physical pain such as lower back or neck aches, and companies offer PT programs where they provide an online personal physio for workers to take care their issue at home during work hours with no interruption if need be.
Yoga or Fitness Classes
Yoga or Fitness Classes are great for improving physical, mental and social well-being. They can be customized based on the needs of any individual employee in any company. Yoga classes don’t just have to focus on fitness; guided meditation sessions also provide stress relief that is much needed by many people today.
Chronic disease management
The chronic disease management program is a great way to help your employees who are living with diabetes or hypertension. This can be achieved by providing them the support they need, such as managing their medical conditions and helping make positive changes in diet and exercise routine.
The importance of taking care not only organization but also employees cannot really be overstated when we think about how each person has his own individual story that needs telling.
Women health (PCOS | Fertility)
It’s no secret that Sri Lanka women make up nearly half of the corporate workforce. If you work in Sri Lanka, it’s important for your company to focus on female employee health issues- especially PCOS and fertility treatments which account for 18% & 4%, respectively.
Dozens if not hundreds more are at risk due their lack or exposure; there needs an active approach across all industries so these numbers can decrease instead.
Telemedicine
Telemedicine is an excellent option for small businesses and startups looking to save on cost. With more online affordable visits, this tele-medical service has been a booming industry over the last decade in Sri Lanka today. In its early history it was initially only offered by larger employers but with recent cuts of prices now available at any company size or location – there’s never been a better time than now get started with your own healthcare business while saving money where you can still afford quality care.
Tobacco Cessation
With nearly one out of four employees in the Sri Lanka being affected by a tobacco cessation or de-addiction program, it is no wonder that employers continue to see financial and non-financial reasons for pursuing these programs.
Weight Management
Weight management programs are designed to help employees live a healthy lifestyle. They focus on exercise and nutrition with the goal being reduction of health risks for Sri Lanka people in general, not just those working at restaurants or other food service businesses where weight gain can happen quickly because it’s manual labor that has been shown time after again will make people hungry.
