HRDC Wellness Program 4 - Clinically Meaningful Weight Loss at the Workplace
Personalized Employee Wellness - Corporate Training
In Malaysia, one in two adults is classified as overweight, with 19.7% facing obesity, according to the National Health and Morbidity Survey 2019. These statistics underscore the urgent need for clinically guided weight management, especially as excess weight significantly increases the risk of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. Given that the average Malaysian adult spends over eight hours a day at work, workplace habits and routines play a major role in shaping long-term health outcomes.
The Clinically Meaningful Weight Loss at the Workplace program is designed to help employees make practical, sustainable changes to their diet and lifestyle—within the context of their workday. This program emphasizes evidence-based strategies for gradual, healthy weight loss through meal planning, mindful eating, stress reduction, and physical activity that can be seamlessly integrated into office life. By focusing on realistic and personalized approaches, this initiative empowers participants to take control of their health without disrupting productivity.
The result is not only a healthier workforce, but also improved morale, energy levels, and reduced risk of chronic disease.
