Zain KSA, leading telecommunications and digital services provider, has received two awards from the Council of Health Insurance during the CHI Excellence Awards 2024. The accolades reinforce Zain KSA’s leadership in building a healthy and sustainable work environment.
Zain KSA was honored with the Best Employer Health and Wellbeing Program for Large Enterprises award, along with the Health Communication Excellence award, following a highly competitive selection process among 157 nominees. The company’s pioneering Be Well program, dedicated to supporting employee mental and physical health, played a key role in securing this recognition.
The accolades reflect Zain KSA’s commitment to implementing policies and initiatives that enhance employee wellbeing. These include free psychological consultations, extended maternity support with longer parental leaves and increased childcare support to four years instead of two, a dedicated platform for exclusive employee benefits and discounts, and a day off celebrating World Mental Health Day.
Zain KSA’s Executive Vice President of Human Resources, Loluwah Saad Alnowaiser, received the awards from the Minister of Health, HE Fahad Abdulrahman AlJalajel, during an official award ceremony.
Commenting on the awards, Alnowaiser said: “At Zain KSA, we believe that real investment begins with people; they are the foundation of success and the driving force behind our every ambition. Our commitment to building a healthy, sustainable workplace stems from our belief that employee wellbeing - physical, mental, and social - fuels enhanced performance, greater innovation, and tangible impact. We launched multiple innovative initiatives designed to improve our people’s quality of life and support a healthy work-life balance. These programs extend to holistic wellness initiatives, maternal and family support, and exclusive lifestyle benefits. For Zain KSA, people always come first because we believe that true success is built through an empowering workplace that nurtures talent, fosters growth, and unlocks creativity, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030’s goal of building a vibrant society centered on human development.”
This achievement adds to Zain KSA’s growing record of accomplishment in fostering an inclusive and sustainable work environment. The company recently received two other notable honors, the Excellence in Diversity and Inclusion and the Excellence in Corporate Social Responsibility awards, recognizing its initiatives to promote diversity, inclusion, and enhanced environmental and social practices. With these latest distinctions, Zain KSA continues to cement its position as a model workplace and a leading national company contributing to building a healthier society and an enhanced quality of life, in line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
