In India, a report titled Working towards Wellness – an Indian perspective by Price Waterhouse Coopers reveals that two percent of a corporation’s capital spent on the workforce is lost due to disability, absenteeism and under performance. The study also states that India’s loss in terms of losing potentially productive years due to deaths from cardiovascular diseases in people aged between 35-64 years is one of the highest in the world. By 2030, the loss is expected to rise to 17.9 million years which is 940% more than the loss estimated in the USA. Thus, many companies are using the services of several leading experts for the initiation and management of workplace wellness programs. In doing so, employers can enhance the productivity of the workforce, reduce the growing burden of healthcare costs, make the workplace more attractive and build a better and more healthy global community.
Explaining the need for a comprehensive corporate wellness program, Sanjay Lakhotia, Founder and Director, Fitastik, highlighted a recent report that mentions 11-30% average productivity loss stems from employees’ concern over personal issues.
Talking about the tie-up between Fitastik and Global HealthReach, Sanjay said, “Both the companies complement each other in terms of their product offering and target audience. The combined product caters to the need that the customer is increasingly looking for.” He further added that the effort is to create a comprehensive health management solution with best in class partnership as medical records give insight into one’s health and second medical opinion provides the access to manage one’s health issues in moments of crisis.
Vikram Anand, Founder & CEO, Global HealthReach, said, “Being a comprehensive one stop solution will help customers tremendously, as currently in India, various organizations provide different services and customers need to switch between different providers to avail them. The tie-up also helps both companies aggressively seize the opportunity in the marketplace.”
Rising income and insurance facilities in India along with greater awareness of personal health and hygiene, over the years, has led to a considerable rise in demand for high-quality healthcare facilities and significant increase in expenditure on healthcare. Per capita healthcare expenditure is estimated to have grown at a CAGR of 15.4% during 2008–15 to USD88.7 by 2015. The Indian healthcare sector, one of the fastest growing industries is expected to advance at a CAGR of 17% till 2020 to reach USD280 Billion. An interesting aspect to be noted is that currently, about 50% of spending on in-patient beds is for lifestyle diseases, increasing the demand for specialized care, preventive healthcare services, and second medical opinion.
