Great question, and in agreement with what Shobha pointed out, I just wanted to share some statistical evidence: -10% of job seekers would leave a place due to bad work environment and good work environment and learning opportunities list above good pay on MENA job seekers wishlist: http://blog.bayt.com/2013/06/bayt-com-infographic-what-are-the-signs-of-the-changing-workplace-dynamics-in-the-middle-east-and-north-africa/ Some of our other infographics also show interesting results: http://blog.bayt.com/category/infographics/

Workplace wellness promotes a sense of well-being and happiness in the workplace.
Nowadays reasons to stay with an employer include not only career growth and good compensation, but also office culture; Wellness programs play a crucial role in defining this culture.
Employees tend to be more content when the organization provides a fun workplace, a healthy work environment and more opportunities to be recognized.
Wellness Programs promote and encourage a happy workplace, a healthy lifestyle, charity work, and much more.
This in turn boosts employee morale, reduces absenteeism and employee turnover.
