Burjeel Holdings And Response Plus Medical Introduce $1 Million Human Energy Health And Wellbeing Award For Workplace Wellness

Burjeel Holdings and Response Plus Medical Services (RPM) have introduced the Human Energy Health and Wellbeing Award at ADIPEC 2024. This initiative, valued at US$1 million, aims to enhance workplace wellness within the global energy sector. The award encourages leaders in the industry to prioritise holistic wellbeing for their workforce.

The award is divided into two main categories. The first is a Wellbeing Investment of US$1 million, which supports small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and startups in developing scalable health solutions. The second category, Excellence Recognition, honours large organisations for their innovative employee wellbeing initiatives.

The winners of this inaugural award will be announced at ADIPEC in October 2025. An independent committee of global experts will evaluate projects based on three criteria: creating supportive workplace environments, demonstrating innovative approaches, and showing measurable impact.

Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil, Founder and Chairman of Burjeel Holdings, emphasised the importance of this initiative. "The Energy sector, a cornerstone of global economies, has made significant strides in prioritising the physical and mental health of its workforce," he stated.

Dr. Vayalil further noted that as a long-standing healthcare partner to the energy sector, Burjeel Holdings feels responsible for promoting holistic wellbeing across the industry. He expressed optimism that these efforts would inspire impactful improvements in the overall health of energy sector professionals worldwide.
