AIA Hong Kong has introduced a new initiative to help corporations ‘recharge’ their employees for better wellbeing and higher productivity.

The relentless pace of change in today’s workplace, and the constant pressure to excel and manage excessive workloads, have placed employees under tremendous stress. This has raised the risk of employee ‘burnout’, defined as a state of complete mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion.
In a work culture marked by high stress, such as in Hong Kong, this is an issue that has gained significant importance. A local survey on overall wellbeing in the workplace found that 38.8% of respondents experienced 'very high work stress'.
As workplace wellness gains strategic importance, AIA Hong Kong is leading the way by going beyond traditional employee benefits to foster workforce wellbeing and build a thriving workplace. Rather than opting in for isolated efforts and interventions, AIA Hong Kong is seeking to forge a culture and ecosystem of wellness. This calls for a multifaceted strategy that encompasses all aspects of wellbeing.
AIA Hong Kong’s ground-breaking ‘AIAnergetic Programme’ provides physical, mental, and emotional wellness support through a wide variety of activities. As a leading employee benefits provider, AIA Hong Kong is dedicated to supporting existing corporate clients by helping them ‘recharge’ and nurture their employees’ physical wellness, mental health awareness, and personal development.
Achieving holistic health can only be done with a simple and sustainable approach – one that integrates naturally and seamlessly into daily life.
This is why AIAnergetic Programme activities are customised to take place at the office, enabling employees to enjoy wellness activities in the workplace. Because they are accessible and universally designed, the activities encourage participation, and ensure more people benefit from the initiative.
“Energised employees are more engaged, productive, and respond better to stress,” AIA Hong Kong explained. “AIAnergetic Programme is designed to ‘recharge’ employees’ energy such that they are not just healthier, but also more motivated and fulfilled at work.”
AIAnergetic Programme helps corporations provide support to their employees and empower them to achieve wellness through activities in three categories: Fitness Series, Mindfulness Series, and Health Assessment Series. Other categories may be added to enrich the programme as needs arise.
The Fitness Series comprises physical activities that draw from the key principles of yoga, to deliver effective stretching and strengthening routines that meet different needs and physical abilities. The Mindfulness Series encompasses simple, creative activities that promote mental presence, breath and body awareness, as well as stress reduction.
The Health Assessment Series features AI fundus analysis, where a retinal AI camera analyses participants’ eyes to assess the risk of various ailments – such as dementia, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, brain tumours, and diabetes*. A health status analysis report will then be prepared for the participant’s reference so they can seek professional medical advice as necessary.
*The analysis is provided by an independent third-party company. The reports are for reference only and should not be regarded as medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, prevention of diseases and/or professional recommendation.
“At the end of the day, there is no doubt that employee vitality and company performance are tightly linked,” added AIA Hong Kong. “We need a more sustainable approach to workplace wellbeing in order to cultivate a more resilient and thriving workforce for the future.”
Besides physical, mental, and emotional wellness, financial health is also critical to an overall state of wellbeing. AIA Hong Kong’s total solution features a comprehensive range of health protection and wealth management plans. It allows employees to enhance their protection, fully safeguarding themselves and their families.
There’s no time like the present to recharge our physical, financial, and mental wellbeing. Let’s build healthy habits for a more resilient workforce! To find out more about AIAnergetic Programme, please contact AIA Corporate Solutions at hk.cs-wellness@aia.com.
