Hi,
Please give your views on whether a Corporate Wellness Management program/Corporate Fitness Program is in existence in India and whether it would work in Indian companies. Corporate Fitness Programs are very successful abroad, and given the increasing emphasis on fitness and health, companies in India are becoming more receptive to this program. They have observed better productivity, reduced absenteeism, increased employee engagement in their work, and enhanced employee loyalty.
I would appreciate it if people could respond to this post and participate in the poll. I am seeking opinions on the feasibility of a corporate fitness program in India.
Regards,
Vinisha.

Namaskar Vinisha ji,
I wonder why this topic has not garnered attention. Fitness encompasses the following three aspects: 1. Cognitive fitness, 2. Nutritional fitness, and 3. Alignment/physical fitness. Does the corporate sector not wish to focus on these aspects and only capitalize on employees' resilience?

Whither India? Here is India's future.
Heading: Shape up or perish, warns WHO.
Subheading: India stares at a chronic disease epidemic.
Opening and next paragraph: The World Health Organisation's (WHO) predictions for India are scary and sound a timely alert: kill chronic ailments before they kill you. Heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes will account for 53 percent of all deaths this year alone. The death count is going to rise rapidly in the next decade, projects a new WHO report.

Hello Jogeshwarji,
Even I am disappointed to see no response in this thread. I and my friends suggested this topic for a project on "Entrepreneurship" and our Professor flatly said, "It won't work in India, given the attitude of Indian Companies." I wanted to prove her wrong, so started this thread.
Sure, companies like Infosys have taken this important step and introduced a 10,000 sq feet gymnasium within their premises to let their employees maintain their health. In my opinion, companies with sufficient resources must introduce such measures that would benefit the health of their employees.

Vinisha.

Both your professor and you are right. She is right for now, and you will be right after 5 years. In India, the "hire and fire" principle is working as there is surplus manpower in the market. According to a 2005 estimation, India has a population growth rate of only 1.4 percent. In another 5 years, we are likely to come down to 0 or a negative growth rate. This, apart from the WHO prediction as quoted above, will be felt. By that time, wellness programs will be a must. Moreover, replacing illness, wellness is a relatively new concept. To pick up, it will take a bit of time.
The other day, I was watching TV, and I saw that certain companies have started their stress management programs in their ways, devoid of expert inputs. Gradually, they will seek expertise too. Wellness measures certainly need expertise to be effective. I will post more information in due course.

I run a course on stress alleviation for criminal justice functionaries (judges and police officers, etc.) and use corporate words:
- "Apni apni punji,
- "Apni apni kamai,
- "Apna apna munafa."
Remember, you are responsible for your illness, and you yourself can repair the anomalies. Your body is the biggest apothecary.

Hi Vinisha,
I realize I am a bit late to this thread, but I still would like to share some insights into Corporate Wellness. My company organizes Corporate Wellness Programs for companies. These programs focus on equipping personnel with methods and tools to handle mental stress and manage their minds, ultimately leading to the elimination of physical ailments. We have collaborated with some smaller companies, and they have experienced significant benefits. The attitude of their employees changes; they become more proactive and productive, leading to better retention rates and an overall increase in well-being.
You can find feedback from these companies on our website [link removed].
Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any further queries.

Hi There !
I think Corporate Wellness programmes are really catching up in India.
Today’s working environment is such that individuals feel short changed for time and believe they are unable to work out and stay healthy as a result. ‘Wellness’, however, is not time-bound or reserved for the supermodel, athlete, or body-builder; the yogi who has renounced humanity, or the decadent narcissist who seems to have all the time in the world just to focus on “health and fitness”.
It is available to, and necessary for everyone, particularly the overworked corporate or professional. An ideal routine for a busy corporate does not need to be endless or unrealistic. Sensible combination of routines could not only prevent boredom, but minimizse time invested while still optimizing results.
REDAPPLE HEALTHCARE SOLUTIONS is a great move in this regard.

Hi Vinisha,
Your disappointment is understandable. Sorry for responding late. I have just joined this forum, and I am a fitness enthusiast. I have transformed myself from 97 Kg to 80 Kg in a year. I am associated with a company in the field of providing Corporate wellness solutions.
Here are some of my inputs based on my experience and understanding:
- There are no sustained solutions provided.
- No scientifically proven programs are available; all are ad hoc to spend the budget allocated.
- Corporates still don't want to invest in something which will have results in the long term.
Let me know if you need any more clarification or assistance.

Hi Vinisha,
Corporate wellness exists in India but is in the nascent stage. Only a few corporates are seriously pursuing it. There are many reasons, but I believe that very soon this will become a part of every corporate and they will have to embrace corporate wellness. The key to the success of any corporate wellness program is that it should involve sustained effort and not just one-time activities or workshops.
Health insurance costs are skyrocketing, and the ultimate solution is to shift from cure to prevention. Numerous studies indicate that we, as Indians/Asians, are more prone to lifestyle conditions compared to people of other ethnicities.
Changes in lifestyle cannot be achieved through a one-time workshop, etc. Wellness cannot be achieved overnight; it requires sustained efforts and coaching. There have been enough case studies in the West proving the benefits, as you have mentioned, and demonstrating an ROI of 1 to 5.
"[Link outdated-removed]", is providing the "[Link outdated-removed]" to Indian corporates through evidence-based and scientifically proven tools and services.

A well- planned employee wellness programs are really necessary in today’s times where employee engagement and employee wellness is sometimes more important that big cheques.Having employee loyalty towards the organization and nurturing organization culture is really important in growing the business .
Employee wellness program doesn’t need to be as expensive as having an in house gym . Cost effective programs like giving subsidized gym memberships etc or incorporating healthier snack options like oatmeal cookies.
