Employee wellbeing is no longer a nice-to-have—it’s a business imperative. In this episode of The Workplace, Low Chooi Hoon (Independent Non-Executive Director at MSM Malaysia Holdings Berhad) and Emeliana Rice-Oxley (Independent Non-Executive Director at Affin Bank Berhad and Hibiscus Petroleum Berhad) unpack how boards can balance achieving long-term corporate goals with prioritising employee wellbeing.

They discussed the board’s roles across five pillars—Purpose, Processes, People, Profit, and Planet—while exploring challenges in aligning wellbeing initiatives with corporate strategy. From measuring the effectiveness of wellbeing programs to addressing mental health in the workplace and navigating hybrid work models, this conversation offers insights for boards and leaders striving to empower people and elevate organizations.
