As Singaporeans spend more than a quarter of their lives at the workplace, employers can help to improve their employees’ health. The inaugural Singapore’s Healthiest Workplace Survey by AIA Vitality found that employees in Singapore have a higher AIA Vitality age gap of 4.5 years, compared to other developed countries like Australia whose gap is at 3.4 years. Employers can facilitate healthy habit-change in the workplace, which can make all the difference to their employees’ health. In turn, they reap business benefits of increased productivity and lowered healthcare costs for the company.

AIA Vitality Age was developed by Discovery Health Ltd and shows the impact of a range of lifestyle, clinical and mental wellbeing risks on an individual’s long-term health. The age gap corresponds to the predicted impact of these risks on their life expectancy.
Creating a culture of health in an organisation
can only be possible when employees and the
management work together. It’s important to listen
to feedback from employees, communicate, and find
creative ways to accede to suggestions. Change can
be done in small steps!
Human resource is the key asset for every business.
Our team can only be effective if everyone is happy
and healthy. If your co-workers are happy and healthy,
your shareholders will be overwhelmingly happy!
