CGF Research Institute (Pty) Ltd - a South African-based company - became a strategic partner of WellnessProgramEvaluation.com. CGF is a private company that specialises in professional services relating to Corporate Governance as well as Risk and Compliance (GRC) for all industry sectors. What sets CGF apart is that the company is an independent body specialising in the aggregation of local and international best-of-breed governance research practices and services. In association with WellnessProgramEvaluation.com, CGF enhances its research capacity in the field of corporate wellness and disease management and particularly how employee wellness is incorporated as a practice of good corporate governance.
Increasingly, business and its communities worldwide are realising the need to invest in health care that especially addresses the needs of the most important shareholders namely, the employees. Failing to integrate employee wellness and disease management practices into an organisation's strategy and structure is grounds for disaster. Employee wellness has become an indispensable component for sustainability, a good governance framework and the promotion of the triple bottom line (People, Planet and Profit). Ineffective wellness and disease management systems also have a direct bearing on the organisation's productivity. When it is combined with the increase of health-care costs, high levels of labour unrest, absenteeism, non-communicable diseases and disability claims, the burden is becoming increasingly more difficult to manage. Moreover, statistics surrounding unhealthy behaviour and morbidity (illness and disease) are rocketing because of the fact that organisations do not effectively manage their wellness. Employee wellness is in fact directly related to good governance practices that keep a healthy balance between the management of financial and non-financial value of employees, shareholders and the community that positively promotes sustainable development.
CGF Research Institute (Pty) Ltd is proud to be associated with this research project that analyses and evaluates the effectiveness of employee wellness programmes against international benchmarks. Terry Booysen, Chief Executive Officer of CGF, says: "It is evident that when an employee wellness programme is implemented, senior leadership takes control to ensure that employee health-care processes are thoroughly managed. Best practice employee wellness programmes reinforce transparent risk management and good corporate governance towards continuous improvement."
