Through Sri Lanka’s Healthiest Workplace by AIA Vitality, we hope to gain a better understanding of the health risks faced by Sri Lankan organisations on a long-term basis, with specific emphasis on the productivity impact of chronic diseases of lifestyle, as well as to understand how the workplace can be used to change employee lifestyle behaviour. We will also look at the availability of wellness facilities in the workplace and how often employees engage in healthy behaviour and activities.

For Sri Lankan employers, the aim of Sri Lanka’s Healthiest Workplace by AIA Vitality is to create awareness around their employees’ health, health risks and the overall health risks by specific lifestyle determinants or wellness indicators. Sri Lanka’s Healthiest Workplace by AIA Vitality will provide tailored recommendations to improve the health risk profile of an organisation’s employee population.

Organisations must register before 30th March 2019 by completing the online registration form.

Participation is free. Sri Lanka’s Healthiest Workplace by AIA Vitality reserves the right to limit participation and close the registration process before the published end date.

Organisations will be asked to complete an online Organisational Health Assessment which will ask for details including workforce demographics, and health and wellbeing initiatives that take place within the organisation.

Participating employees will complete an Employee Health Assessment which will ask questions about their general health, lifestyle behaviours, mental health status, and their work environment. To be eligible for participation, employees must be at least 18 years of age.

Participating organisations must have a minimum of 50 employees with email access to take part in this initiative.

Employees will be asked to confirm their full work email address to verify their participation.

By exception only, those employees without a valid work email address may be permitted to use a personal email account.

To ensure statistical significance of the results, each organisation must attain a minimum employee participation rate related to its overall population. The participation rate will be confirmed after registration. Participating organisations will also be asked to confirm the number of individuals that the survey has been distributed to. Only by exception will we allow business units of organisations and companies to take part independently.

Participating organisations must agree to their representatives being interviewed, videoed and/or photographed. If an organisation is assessed to be an overall winner of Sri Lanka’s Healthiest Workplace by AIA Vitality or as a winner in any of the awards categories, AIA or a third party publication nominated by AIA, may publish its story in print and online.

AIA may publish the name of any organisation that achieves a place in the overall Sri Lanka’s Healthiest Workplace by AIA Vitality competition or in its individual categories. No table or index will be published beyond these placing, but AIA retains the right to name all organisations that participate.

The Employee Health Assessment should be sent to full-time and part-time employees. It is at the discretion of the participating organisation whether to send to short term contracted and temporary staff.

Complete the Organisational Health Assessment which will include questions about employee demographics, wellness facilities and how the organisation is investing in the health of its employees.

Employees who submit completed Health Assessments will each receive a Personal Health Report detailing their risk categories and their "Vitality Age" - a tool used to measure the overall health status of an individual.

In November 2018, qualifying organisations will receive an Organisational Health Report which will provide them with a holistic view of their employees’ wellbeing, as well as unique benchmarking information that can be used to inform future HR and People strategies.
