Similar to the previous occasion, this year’s winners also went through a series of selection criteria that displayed high transparency.


The selection process was facilitated by surveys and workshops conducted with the aim of educating the enterprises the ways and means of setting up and reaching high standards in health and wellness.


The enterprises were enlightened on the value of implementing health and wellness initiatives which will benefit them in the long run.


After a lengthy but worthwhile process from planning to implementation and searching for the best enterprises that carried out health and wellness initiatives, the organizing committee was able to recognize a pool of enterprises and provide the necessary recognition they deserve by awarding them which is indeed a morale booster for any company / individual.


An awards ceremony of this caliber not only help enterprises carry out health and wellness initiatives merely to win an award, but this effort turns out to be highly fruitful as employees are facilitated with sound working environment both physically and mentally.
