The UAE government has been focusing on happiness and wellbeing from the past several years to improve the lifestyle of people. Post pandemic private organizations have also increased their focus on employee wellbeing and happiness with a view to maintain and improve engagement and productivity in the workplace.
The focus on mental, physical and emotional health increased in organizations as more employees and families were impacted due to sickness, anxiety or insecurity. Employers and HR Managers have since stepped in with an increased focus on corporate wellness to support employees and keep them engaged and productive at work.Being healthy is a step closer to individual empowerment, one should understand how important it is that we take care of our self both mentally as well as physically. It is to have a self-belief that you are in control of your own habits and health and that brings greater change in chain of effects.
Reduces Elevated Health RisksIf employees are being helped to focus towards adopting healthy behavior it would help them control elevated blood glucose, high blood cholesterol, and high blood pressure because almost all are caused by unhealthy diets and lack of physical activity.

These programs help employees adopt and maintain a healthy lifestyle which results in lower health risks, less chronic diseases and fewer health care costs.
