Well-being: Strategic Priority for the APAC region

Well-being at work emerges as a strategic priority also for the APAC region. Many companies are implementing innovative programs for financial wellness, mental health, healthy diet and exercise, mindfulness, sleep, stress management, and more.

As the result of work and life getting blended more and more, well-being programs become a corporate responsibility. Furthermore, a strategy to drive employee productivity, engagement and retention. In addition, the cost reduction in health care and positive employer branding by meeting new social expectations, makes this an attractive market.
