Wellness is a word that gets bandied about and can take the form of many things from physical, mental or financial health.

Companies are expanding their employee benefits offerings to stand out from the crowd, engage their employees & retain them; building a healthy & happy workforce.

There’s a misconception that such value-added benefits are for large multinationals only, that’s simply not the case with product providers catering to companies of all sizes and budgets (just like with health insurance).

Let’s dive into 4 Corporate Wellness Solutions to consider for your business moving forward.

1. Gyms, Yoga & Other Physical Wellness

Physical exercise is proven to reduce stress, set up a corporate wellness program via a Total Rewards program (more on this later) or by sponsoring employees’ gym or exercise class memberships.

2. Annual Health Checks

Your group health insurance policy may include an annual health check benefit or a corporate health check package can be put together with a facility such as a hospital or clinic.

Nip things in the bud before they become a problem and help employees manage their healthcare by getting an annual health check.

3. Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs)

EAPs are mental health counselling and coaching that serve two primary areas:

Prevention
Crisis management

Companies who implement EAPs have proven employee satisfaction scores and you can track overall usage and consumption. Sessions are private & confidential for your employees and can be done in-person or digitally.

First time usage in EAPs is extremely high as this is still relatively new to the world of employee benefits especially in developing markets in Asia.

4. Financial Coaching

Employees in Asia are usually left to their own devices for their retirement, investments & financial health. Think of a financial coach like a personal CFO for your staff.  A suggestion is a group session with an introduction & overview, then staff can schedule 1-on-1s if they’re interested.

Highly recommend a financial coach with fiduciary duties to boot.
