AIA Insurance announced the launch of Sri Lanka’s Healthiest Workplace Survey (HWS) at the Great Place to Work conference recently.
The Healthiest Workplace Survey is a comprehensive survey of the health and well being of employees around the Asia-Pacific. Having surveyed thousands of employees across multiple industries since its launch in 2017, this survey is being conducted by Rand Europe, a researcher in the field of health and wellness. AIA Chief Marketing Office, Nikhil Advani said, “Given that so much of our time is spent at work, it’s important that we understand, measure and ultimately, improve well being in the workplace.
“This survey gives employers an understanding of employees’ health and well being, giving them useful strategies to support them in their healthy living goals and improving company-wide productivity.
“If you calculate the productivity per employer that is lost to absenteeism and presenteeism every year in Asia, there is a clear message that identifying and addressing risks to employee health is critical to business performance.
“We aim to equip companies in Sri Lanka with the best insights and strategies to help improve business productivity while also improving well being in the workplace,” he said.
Sri Lankan companies with over 50 employees can participate, for free, in the program, to be recognised under three key categories; Healthiest Workplace, Healthiest Employer and Healthiest Employee, by registering through AIA web. Research and analysis for HWS is conducted by Rand Europe with support from local academic partners, which provide academic advisory services and validate the survey questionnaire and findings. Research will focus on understanding productivity loss and how workplace wellness strategies can be applied to reduce this loss. Taking part in the survey is free.
