Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) launched its dedicated Employee Wellbeing and Wellness Section under the Human Resources Department in 2021, with full implementation across all Public Healthcare sector including HMC facilities, MOPH, PHCC and Naufar Hospital by 2022. This comprehensive, organization-wide initiative is designed to cultivate a safe, inclusive, and health-promoting workplace for more than 50,000 healthcare employees. Guided by the WHO’s Healthy Workplaces model and aligned with Qatar Vision 2030 and the National Health Strategy, the program adopts a holistic approach encompassing six core pillars: Health Education, Physical Health, Mental Health, Social Wellbeing, Financial Wellbeing, and Employee Support Programs.

Uniquely tailored to the demands of the healthcare sector, the program integrates wellbeing into HMC’s culture and operations through strategic planning, systematic needs assessments, digital innovation, and evidence-based interventions. It is implemented through multidisciplinary collaboration, supported by executive leadership, and driven by continuous improvement. The program’s scalability—extending to the Ministry of Public Health, Primary Healthcare Center and Naufar Hospital—along with its measurable impact on engagement, health, and productivity, reinforces HMC’s commitment to workforce wellbeing.

The program’s health and wellbeing goals are to:

• Foster a sustainable culture of wellbeing
• Strengthen employee resilience
• Improve engagement and job satisfaction
• Reduce health risks and absenteeism
• Enhance overall employee health and productivity
• Contribute to improved patient care and outcomes
• Position HMC as a regional and global leader in workplace wellness
