Discover insights to
Wellbeing in the MENA Region

What does well-being look like, especially across the MENA region? Are we collectively experiencing good mental and physical health? What challenges are impacting overall wellbeing, and how prevalent are they? When we talk about wellbeing, how do we define it – and what differentiates good from poor wellbeing?

With these key questions in mind, GIG Gulf has undertaken its inaugural comprehensive Wellbeing Report. Our aim is to provide you with valuable insights into the wellbeing landscape across the MENA region, empowering you to make informed decisions on health insurance policies and wellness programs that effectively meet the needs of employees, members and the broader population.

In this report, we share the results of our findings that underscore the strong connections between physical health, mental wellbeing, and overall productivity. We also identify key obstacles to achieving optimal health, such as work-related stress, financial pressures, and lifestyle challenges related to sleep, exercise, diet, and family responsibilities.

GIG Gulf's Wellbeing Research Study illuminates the critical aspects of mental, financial, and physical wellbeing in the region. By understanding these factors, brokers and HR professionals can better support members towards improving their own health and wellness. Understanding the complexities of wellbeing is more crucial than ever, especially as societies recognize the impact of a healthier, more content workforce on productivity and overall quality of life.

This report is more than just data—it’s a tool for creating impactful health strategies that prioritize employee wellbeing and drive business success.
