Healthy Human Capital as a Business Strategy: The Saudi Aramco Wellness Program (SAWP) By Paul Burgess Session# 8 Monday February 22, 2010
15:30 - 16:10
Healthy human capital is a critical success factor
for any company in the business of sustainable
exploration and production of oil and gas. The
workplace is an ideal setting to address health and
well-being. Since 2005, the Saudi Aramco Wellness
Program (SAWP) consists of a workplace wellness
(healthy employees) program and community
wellness (healthy family) program. Most of the costly
chronic health conditions seen across the Saudi
Aramco population are due to lifestyle factors, and
therefore are directly preventable. These programs
are developed, implemented, and evaluated by the
Wellness Program Group (SAMSO).
