A healthy workforce should be a top priority in all companies and must be encouraged by all employers. People spend a great part of their normal day at work, which has a direct influence on their health and stress levels. 
 

Corporate wellness is primarily a prevention orientated activity, by assessing the health risks that the employee is exposed to (internally and externally).  Therefore   pro-active strategies are implemented in order to promote the health of employees via personalised health education.  The World Health Organization explains a healthy work environment as one in which there is an absence of harmful conditions and an abundance of health promoting surroundings.
