AIA Thailand builds upon core initiatives with employee wellness 

The initiative was gradually enhanced through cross-functional collaboration amongst employees.

AIA Thailand no.1 life and health insurance provider, has always focused on employee experiences as it sees the importance of employees having excellent experiences of their own, to be able to deliver exceptional experiences to customers.

To promote this value, the company has introduced their innovative employee wellness initiative “WorkWell with AIA,” which aims to support all employees with objectives in achieving their overall well-being, a supportive work environment that benefits both employees and the communities they serve. This initiative has been designed to align with AIA’s mission to “One Billion People Live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives.”

The initiative focuses on four key well-being dimensions: physical, mental, community & social, and financial. 

In the first half of 2023, AIA Thailand rolled out an impressive series of 76 sessions which were held both face-to-face and virtually to accommodate the hybrid working environment. 

For the Live Well facet of the initiative, which focuses on physical health, the company conducted medical check-ups, consultation with nutritionists, AIA staff clubs, fitness and exercises, AIA Vitality, health market, massage by the visually-impaired, mobile dental service, CPR workshops, health talks, health tips. The company also offers staff recreation such as karaoke room, and music room.

Additionally, AIA also provided mental health training, and hyper care for new hires in adjusting themselves to the new environment under the Think Well aspect highlighting the importance and recognition of mental health. AIA staff can also consult with psychologists online through the Mordee Application if they are seeking help.

The company also held activities under the Feel Well facet, which focuses on community & social health. These activities included ESG initiatives such as blood donations Plastic Free Day, grants for library renovations, and DE&I activities like International Women’s Day, Pride Month, and same-sex marriage leave entitlement.
