Vida Plena is Abbott Latin America’s flagship integrated wellbeing program, present across 18 countries since 2023 and recognized as a regional success story in employee health promotion. The program addresses five pillars of wellbeing — physical, mental, financial, social, and occupational — and is distinguished by its strong governance structure, cross-functional leadership, data-driven design, and deep cultural alignment with a diverse, multinational workforce.

What sets Vida Plena apart is its intentional integration across three key organizational functions: Environment, Health & Safety (EHS), Compensation & Benefits (C&B), and Business Human Resources (BHR). This cross-functional ownership ensures that wellbeing is not a standalone initiative, but a shared organizational responsibility embedded in daily leadership practices, performance management, and business planning.

The program’s strategic goals are: (1) reducing occupational risks and absenteeism; (2) improving physical and mental health outcomes to strengthen talent attraction and retention; (3) increasing employee engagement in wellbeing initiatives; (4) building a culture of prevention and self-care; and (5) ensuring full compliance with applicable local and international health and safety standards.

Vida Plena is formally endorsed by senior regional leadership, reported in Abbott’s Global Sustainability Report, and continuously improved through structured assessment cycles, employee feedback, and external expert consultation. With high adherence and consistently strong outcomes across the region, Vida Plena reflects Abbott’s unwavering commitment to helping every employee live life to the fullest.
