In Malaysia, the rising health-related issues and problems faced by the corporate workforce currently is the ever-increasing medical cost, the increased number of critical illnesses reported, and the continuation of an exceptionally unhealthy lifestyle of business professionals.
These core issues, mainly because most people do not practice healthy lifestyle and conduct regular medical checkups to understand their health condition.
Thus, lack of health awareness has become a major challenge for the corporate workforce as they struggled to lead a good corporate wellness program and improve employees’ health consistently over time.
Outcome-based Wellness Program
Most employers start a wellness program to improve employee health, improve employee productivity, or reduce their health care costs. The goal of every wellness program should be to help employees adopt and maintain healthy behaviors. If wellness programs are successful, they will improve employee health and reduce healthcare costs. Since every company with a wellness program is trying to produce one of these outcomes, so here comes to the next question for Human Resource Department…
“Is your corporate wellness program successful? How does HR justify if the outcome is successful despite of using the participation rate?”
These aren’t just the challenges that most of the companies are facing, by just implementing a wellness program for the sake of organizing. The purpose of any wellness program should be to improve the health of employees, sustainably. That means the program should be focused on behavioral change in lifestyle, and we all know, it takes long time make this as a company’s culture.
Some corporates use incentives to motivate employees to improve their health. Any kind of incentives-based program that are being used in the nation is only to create a short-term gimmick, but it might not be able to make a sustainable healthy workplace.
Hence, this is the reason why many of the HR nowadays looking for a better solution which it can be successfully integrated into an incentive strategy and still able to increase health awareness through a routine health evaluation tool.
