Overview

As organization today continue to compete in the global economy, cost control strategies will be increasingly important. Controlling the rising cost of employee ill health is becoming a priority for corporate leaders. This is fairly true for most companies around the world but how about in Malaysia?

Developing a corporate strategy for health promotions makes good business sense since poor health impacts the most precious resource of your organization – the effectiveness and performance of your human capital. Unmanaged health issues, such as diabetes, migraine headaches or asthma attacks can damage productivity significantly when they are viewed cumulatively across an employee population.

Therefore, the workplace is an ideal setting to address these health issues and promote healthier lifestyles. At the workplace, individuals can obtain health related information, take part in health screenings and preventive services and gain the social support often needed for health behaviour change.

This program will create an awareness to the top management on workplace wellness. At the same time, it will promote health management for organizations to adopt it as a corporate strategy.
