Why It Matters
1. Over 50% of BPO employees report daily pain, stress, or visual fatigue.
2. Health-related attrition and absenteeism are rising across major BPO hubs.
3. Poor ergonomics and irregular shifts are impacting long-term employee well-being.
4. Ignoring workplace health risks leads to higher costs, burnout, and performance dips.

Proactive health interventions—from posture training to mental wellness support—aren’t just good HR policy. They’re essential for building a resilient, future-ready workforce that can meet global demands without burning out.
