world in the following 5-10 years (Health Management, 2015). Thiswas announced duringtheGlobal Wellness
Summit, SRI Internationalin December 2015, suggestingthatemployers’ capability to maintainhealthy and fit
workforce will become the leading driver for competitive advantage (Health Management, 2015).
SRI International(2015)revealed that “Todayscorporatewellness programmeswill disappearas a result of the
increasing need of creating a culture of wellness, where it is embeddedinto a long – term strategy.”(SRI, 2015)

implement mandatory wellness programs as part of their long term strategy (Health Management, 2015).

level of corporate social responsibility in order to attract high calibre employees and retain high quality
workforce (Health Management, 2015).
