Gone are the days when it took long hours to convince employers about the entailment for employee wellness programs. Today, it’s a part of the employee value proposition. A new report by Grand View Research, Inc divulges that the global corporate wellness market is projected to hit $ 90.7 billion by 2026, expanding at a CAGR of 6.8 percent. But amidst this transition over the years many of the employers have fallen prey to the run-of-the-mill vanilla programs, making them fail to recognize the need for developing a sustainable corporate wellness culture. Every employee needs a piece of it. Gurgaon based Wellogo Services Pvt. Ltd helps its clients build this sustainable culture of well being through its smart solutions that impact every employee and keep them happy, healthy and engaged. It works hand-in-hand with its partners to customize solutions and make them comprehensive & effective.

The company’s holistic services include Health Risk Assessment, Health Check-ups, Healthcare Expenditure Reduction Programs, Health Talks, Consultations, and 360 degree Preventive Health Programs. Furthermore, it also offers a myriad of other activities related to employee engagement, motivation, and retention.

approach towards tackling the challenges and the capabilities that we have built over the years. It’s a time when more employers are focusing on improving the health of their employees. The biggest challenge however is getting the attention and having the involvement of employees. Over the last few years, we have doubled our employee engagement through our plans and services to meet employer’s objectives.
On the other hand, our capabilities play a hand too. Sickness related absenteeism & resultant productivity loss is an employer's biggest concern. But our on-site Corporate Medical Room Service mitigates the worries of our clients. We run over 100 state-of-the-art Medical Rooms across India for more than 20 clients. We also have a robust network of diagnostic centers across the country to support annual & pre employment health checkups for our clients.
The market is offering an equal amount of challenges and opportunities. What’s your vision to tackle these challenges and serve more clients?
Today, 75 percent Indians who are under the age of 40 years are over stressed. It’s an alarming fact and we need to imbibe a culture of well-being. Just like the old adage, prevention is better than cure. Currently, only three percent of total healthcare expenditure is directed at prevention. We endeavor to improve this number through our proactive care programs.
