In today’s perpetually plugged-in, fast-paced world, personal energy is increasingly taxed, and finding ways to rejuvenate and re-energize is more challenging than ever. Recognizing there is a universal need for increased personal energy and revitalization, for the first time in Pakistan, South Beach Clinics – a health and wellness center based in Karachi has launched an intensive Corporate Wellness Program.
“At South Beach Clinics, we fully understand that people are one of your biggest investments and that to have them energized, motivated, focused and mentally at their best, gives your business the best chance of optimum performance” says, Dr. Sarwat Imran, the force behind the conceptualization and launch of Welcorp.
The program includes a full medical examination of employees in the organizations who sign up for this program, followed by a diverse selection of group fitness activities and relaxation classes, health education seminars and workshops and use of spa facilities and weight loss solutions.
“We wanted to focus on overall corporate wellness in a way that includes mind, body and spirit; most companies focus on the physical side”, Dr. Imran Explains. “We wanted to encompass all aspects and so we have launched a variety of initiatives throughout the year that are both fun and competitive and reach out to all employees”.
According to the global studies, an average individuals spends approximately one-third of our lives at work or thinking about work and if programs like Welcorp are introduced they can reduce healthcare costs by about 25%.
Other benefits that organizations from signing up for Welcorp includes improved productivity, decreased absenteeism, better employee relations, fewer injuries, reduced health insurance claims and health benefits cost, improved corporate culture and image, and improved retention and recruitment.
