How corporate health and wellness programs strengthen your employer brand

In a fast-changing world of work, top talent no longer looks only at salary when deciding where to apply or stay. Employees today want more than a paycheck—they’re searching for purpose, balance, growth, and support for their total well-being.

This is where your Employee Value Proposition (EVP) comes in. A strong EVP communicates what your company offers in exchange for the skills, capabilities, and experiences employees bring. And at the heart of a strong EVP? Meaningful, human-centered employee benefits.

Health and Wellness: A Cornerstone of Employer Branding

In the Philippines, benefits—especially those tied to health and wellness—have become essential differentiators in a crowded job market. In fact, health and wellness is the second most important factor candidates consider when evaluating a new role.

Going beyond mandatory government benefits and traditional perks, companies that offer thoughtful and customized health support stand out as “best places to work”—earning not just loyalty, but advocacy from their people.

At Hati Health, we work with employers to design customized health and wellness packages based on your people’s needs and your company’s goals and budget. Whether it's through virtual care, in-clinic partnerships, mental health support, or proactive health screening, we’re here to help you invest in what matters most: your people.

What Filipino Employees Value in a Benefits Package

Here’s a breakdown of what companies in the Philippines are offering—and why it matters for employer branding:

✅ Core Health Benefits

  • Health Insurance (HMO or Private Plans): Covers hospitalization, outpatient consults, and sometimes dental or vision care.
  • Government-Mandated Support: Includes employer contributions to SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG, ensuring basic financial protection.

✅ Mental Health and Wellness

  • Employee Assistance Programs (EAP): Counseling, stress management, and emotional support.
  • Wellness Allowances: For gym memberships, yoga, fitness apps, or ergonomic equipment.
  • Digital Wellness Support: Platforms like Hati Health offer health chat lines, wellness workshops, or webinars on burnout and stress and physical health concerns.

✅ Flexible and Human-Centered Work

  • Hybrid or Remote Work Options: 90% of Filipino workers say they prefer flexible work, according to a 2022 survey.
  • Compensatory or Special Leaves: Beyond the standard 5-day service incentive leave, companies now offer birthday leaves, mental health days, and bereavement leave.

✅ Growth and Recognition

  • Learning and Development Programs: Workshops, coaching, or education allowances.
  • Incentives and Bonuses: Performance pay, recognition awards, and profit-sharing schemes.
  • Team Building & Culture Events: Group outings, hobby clubs, and wellness activities that build belonging.

The Business Case: Why Employee Benefits Drive Performance

Great benefits don’t just feel good—they perform. Investing in your people’s wellness can directly improve business outcomes:

📈 12% higher productivity 😌 Lower absenteeism and stress-related sick days 🫶 5x more likely to retain talent 🚀 Higher employee engagement and innovation

As competition for talent intensifies, benefits have become strategic. They’re not an afterthought or HR checkbox—they’re a powerful way to communicate what your brand stands for.
