Optum, a leading healthcare organization, is setting a new industry standard by prioritizing employee well-being. Their innovative Emotional Wellbeing Solutions (EWS) program isn't just a benefit; it's a strategic approach to fostering a thriving and productive workplace.

The company recently hosted its inaugural Opt to Move Wellness Fair and Executive Forum, underscoring its commitment to employee wellness and showcasing the program's impact.

The two-day EWS Fair, held last quarter at McKinley Hill Stadium, brought together over 1,000 Optum employees from across Metro Manila.

The event began with the Opt to Move fun run, a voluntary activity highlighting camaraderie and the connection between physical and mental health. This fun run symbolized Optum's holistic approach to wellness.
