Since 2008, Community Business has been promoting Asia Employee Wellbeing Week* - providing a platform to raise awareness, educate and motivate action around employee wellbeing. In 2020 Asia Employee Wellbeing Week takes place from Monday 5 October to Friday 9 October 2020.
We encourage all companies who care about the wellbeing of their employees, to incorporate this important event into their calendar and to register as a Participating Employer.
*Until 2018, known as Work-Life Balance Week.
Why a Focus on Employee Wellbeing?
Research highlights a direct link between employee wellbeing, productivity and performance. Employers who invest in their employee’s wellbeing reap a range of profit-boosting benefits - from higher engagement levels on the one side, to reduced costs associated with absenteeism and attrition on the other. Responsible businesses put employee wellbeing at the heart of their people strategy - because beyond the business case, ultimately our organisations are about people, and we have a duty of care to ensure our employees are happy, healthy and engaged.
