SRI LANKA’S HEALTHIEST WORKPLACE

Investing in the health and wellbeing of employees can save businesses millions of rupees every year. For example, in Sri Lanka on average, absenteeism and presenteeism costs businesses over LKR 149 million a year*, so identifying and addressing risks to employee health is critical to business success.

For employees, participating in the Healthiest Workplace Survey by AIA Vitality will give them a comprehensive overview of their health and wellbeing in terms of lifestyle, clinical indicators, mental health, stress and other areas that may concern them. Each participating employee will also receive a personal report detailing their unique AIA Vitality Age.

Given that so much of our time is spent at work, we think it’s important that we understand, measure and ultimately, improve wellbeing in the workplace. That’s why we have created the Healthiest Workplace Survey by AIA Vitality.

The Healthiest Workplace Survey by AIA Vitality is a comprehensive survey of the health and wellbeing of employees around Asia-Pacific. It builds on the success of Healthiest Workplace by AIA Vitality, across multiple countries and industries since its inception in 2017.

The Healthiest Workplace Survey by AIA Vitality provides an overview of employees’ wellbeing which gives employers insights to support them in their healthy living goals and help improve company-wide productivity.

The initiative is overseen by an expert advisory board which is chaired by AIA’s Group Medical Director. The board comprises leading figures in the fields of academia, workplace wellness, public health and mental wellbeing.

Research and analysis for the Healthiest Workplace Survey by AIA Vitality is conducted by our Academic partners: RAND Europe and academic institutions across the regions. The academic institutions will assist RAND to validate the survey questionnaire and findings in each market. Research will focus on understanding productivity loss and how workplace wellness strategies can be employed to reduce this loss.

The Healthiest Workplace Survey by AIA Vitality uses a scientific measure of “AIA Vitality Age”, which measures all aspects of health, including exercise, nutrition and stress, to calculate a person’s ‘health’ age as a comparison to their chronological age.
