Employee well-being is becoming a business priority as organisations grapple with burnout, digital fatigue, talent retention and changing employee expectations. How companies manage the everyday experience of work has a direct bearing on productivity, engagement and performance. Work Reimagined UAE, a forum by InsuranceMarket.ae in association with Gulf News, will bring business leaders and HR professionals together on November 18 to discuss how organisations can build healthier workplace cultures and sustain employee performance.
The November 18 forum is the third in a four-part Work Reimagined UAE series addressing key issues shaping the future of work, including HR, workplace culture, leadership and employee experience. This edition turns its attention to employee well-being and its role in building healthier, more productive workplaces.
For Avinash Babur, Founder & Chairman of Alfred Holdings, the starting point is recognising that employee well-being is a business priority, not simply an HR initiative.
“Organisations need to move beyond occasional wellness programmes and create an environment where people feel valued, supported and empowered to perform at their best,” he says.
Leadership, he adds, has a direct role in making this happen. “When leaders genuinely care about their people, encourage open communication, recognise contributions and create opportunities for growth, well-being becomes part of the organisation’s everyday culture.”
