Gulftainer, the world’s largest privately owned independent port operator, won the ‘Corporate Health and Wellness Initiative’ category at the Daman Corporate Health Awards 2017. The company earned recognition for its corporate well-being programme, Positive Pulse, that seeks to enhance employee engagement through promoting a healthy lifestyle.

In line with the efforts of the UAE’s Ministry of Happiness, Gulftainer’s Positive Pulse highlights the tangible benefits a happy and healthy work environment can bring to companies.

Positive Pulse encompasses a range of activities focused on health and fitness, nutrition, mindfulness and team-building. Since its implementation in February 2017, the programme has had a widespread positive impact on employee well-being. According to a survey of the participants, 30 per cent of employees have consulted a dietician since the launch of Positive Pulse, while 20 per cent of those who did not participate in any regular physical activity have started exercising. In addition, 10 per cent of smokers have now quit the habit.
