DUBAI, November 11, 2015

Dubai Holding, a leading investment holding company, has been recognised at the Daman Corporate Health Awards as the best employer in the UAE with proven record of accomplishment in the health and wellness sphere.

The programme qualified a rigorous evaluation process, surpassing nearly fifty finalists, said a statement.
 
The wellness initiatives of companies were judged across a range of criteria including staff participation and the level of staff enthusiasm. Dubai Holding’s programme stood out for being the most results-oriented and comprehensive corporate programme having delivered success stories from across the Dubai Holding entities consistently over the years, it said.

We approach wellness strategically, by listening to our people and determining their needs we are able to deliver a programme that is smart, scalable and results-oriented which, over the years, has positively impacted the Group’s performance.
 
“Having nurtured a culture of wellness across our companies, our people are in turn guiding their families and friends towards a healthier lifestyle. Through our initiatives, we are able to engage the wider community and directly share the programme’s benefits with those outside of the office. 
 
"From an operational standpoint, the programme is a key driver of our business strategy and plan to expand the programme further. Dubai Holding remains committed to keeping wellness at the forefront.”
 
The team, also known as the Wellness Committee, was recognised for its efforts in making Dubai the programme increasingly successful over the last nine years. 
 
Additionally, Dubai Holding was a finalist in categories - 'Improved Corporate Health and Wellness Performance', 'Workplace of the Year' and 'Communications Campaign of the Year.'
 
The programme relies on education and targeted interventions to lead employees to live healthier lifestyles by focusing on healthy nutrition, healthy nutrition, physical activity, stress management and general health, said the statement.
 
It is focused on the wellbeing of employees, and aims to address physical, emotional, environmental, social, intellectual, and occupational wellbeing, it added. - TradeArabia News Service
