Discovery HealthyCompany brings wellness to the workplace

Employer health management throughout the world has seen an increase in research and development of health strategies that focus on external, environmental and behavioural elements that have an impact on the health of individuals.

The introduction of specific measures of the health and wellness of employees in corporate reporting will force employers to pay greater attention to the health of their workforce.

Engagement in an effective workplace wellness programme by employees will result in lower absenteeism, which can lead to lowered healthcare costs and healthier, more productive employees.
