Creating a prevention-first well-being culture is the key to driving meaningful health outcomes and empowering employees to take charge of their wellness journeys. But are organisations taking the right steps to address this shift? This was the central theme of the roundtable discussion on “Moving India Inc. Towards a Prevention-First Wellbeing Culture: OPD Benefits and Holistic Health,” hosted in partnership with MediBuddy. Sonal Gupta, Vice President at MediBuddy, set the context with his keynote, emphasizing the importance of equipping employees with tools like OPD benefits and cashless facilities to encourage proactive health management. He highlighted how these measures not only address immediate health needs but also pave the way for a sustainable well-being culture. The session continued with an engaging discussion moderated by Ashwani Dahiya, TRC Management Consulting LLP, where leaders shared actionable strategies to enhance employee wellbeing. The conversation ranged from creating engaging fitness initiatives—like challenges, wearable tech, and hobby groups—to advancing tracking, screening, and diagnostics to enable prevention-first programs. Leaders also explored the role of wellness nudges, behavioral interventions, and leadership involvement in driving the adoption of wellness apps and ensuring long-term program utilization. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the leaders who shared their insights and experiences, making this session rich and impactful. A special thank you to our partner, MediBuddy, for spearheading this critical dialogue on holistic employee health. Together, let’s move India Inc. toward a healthier, prevention-first future.

Did you know that there is a movement of workplace wellbeing that is happening in India? Workplace wellness isn’t just an American phenomenon, it’s a global one! From the a conference in India in 2019 (as seen in this photo) to keynoting in Romania just two weeks ago at the Wellington event (thank you, Alina Grozescu), I am thrilled to be part of this global movement. But whether we are in the US, India or Romania, the question still remains: Are our organizational efforts to promote wellbeing actually helping people to thrive? In most cases, there’s a yawning gap between what’s offered and what employees genuinely need. Employees aren’t wanting another wellness “to do.” Rather, they’re seeking meaningful engagement, greater flexibility, and enhanced inclusivity in their work lives. They want to feel valued and recognized. The era of the one-size-fits-all wellness program is over, as is the era of individual interventions that fail to address the larger culture. Today, companies must embrace a holistic, “outside-in” approach to wellbeing that involves candid assessments of company culture, organizational policies practices that foster wellbeing, leadership engagement on all levels and a focus on engaging teams. Thank you India ETHRWorld and Yasmin Taj for inviting me to write the Foreword for your most recent ETHR and FITPASS State of Fitness and Wellness Report. https://lnkd.in/gUURadmd FITPASS Akshay Verma,  Aakanksha Gupta, Saba Shaikh, Ashish Mishra, Rajiv Naithani Sumit Taneja Dr. Rima Ghose Chowdhury, Roshni Wadhwa, Aarti Srivastava, Shweta Mohanty, Chandini Kamal, Smitha Subhas, Mai Tlau, Tarana Kaushik, Ankit Punani, Anushree Sharma, Puja Bothra, Apeksha Kaushik, Rinki Gulati and Sagarika Rai.
