Boy Lokhoff, CEO and Co-Founder As the common industry saying goes, ‘A healthy workforce is a happy workforce.’ And with a little investment in prioritizing employees’ health and wellbeing, an organization can express their commitment in improving employees’ quality of life, both inside and outside of work. Employees want to feel valued as human beings who need support across the board, right from a welcoming office environment to an understanding company culture and strong health and wellbeing support.On an additional note, focusing on employee wellness not only benefits the employee. The businesses reap the rewards too. A happy employee will always be more engaged, productive and morally uplifted while handing a task.
