Introduction:
We are passing through the unprecedented health crisis over the whole world in the form of COVID-19. The pandemic has taught us several newer aspects of life which we could not learn before this pandemic. The outbreak of this pandemic has made us more health and safety-conscious. The meaning of the proverb “Precautions are better than cure” is now really understood by us in its true sense. The people with foolhardy attitude have suffered a lot and this pandemic has taught them real lessons. They also started focusing more towards precautions than to cure. When a person falls ill, it costs a lot not only in monetary terms but also in terms of his mental well-being. Not only the person who has fallen ill suffers, his family, friends also have to suffer because of his illness. The same logic applies to an organization also. When an employee falls ill, the whole organization suffers. The ill health of an important employee and his absence from the organization that follows results in a great damage to the organization. Because of the absence of an employee, so many projects get pending and so many tasks and processes get disturbed.
In order to avoid such damages and disturbances, precautions are to be taken. For that, employee wellness program is a great panacea.
