Abstract

Information technology has revolutionised the way global citizens go about their professional and personal lives. Employees serving in such service sectors need to battle stress as well as odd working hours. Concepts like flexi-time are more theoretical than practical and so is work-life balance. Employees continue to work tirelessly to reach various deadlines and in the process are compelled to align their body clocks to various international time zones. Performance in an era that has inflation and recession staring at companies is not an easy goal to achieve anymore. The implication for the human body are far-reaching. The human body is being battered not just at the physical level but at the mental and spiritual levels too. Companies are increasingly turning their attention to employee wellness programmes as they are now given to understand that wellness also counts in employees’ progress. Wellness is fast being recognised as a necessary, helpful and urgent concept. Management are now given to understand that wellness initiatives would not only boost the morale of employees but would help them to maintain a mature approach in tackling challenges and enjoying the work they do. Cluster and random sampling was undertaken to survey 847 respondents serving in Information Technology service organisations at Chennai, Tamilnadu State in southern India. The current research delves into the perceptions about and impact of wellness on employee engagement
