The study sought to establish the relationship between corporate wellness programmes,
employee efficiency and job performance among the middle level executives of Standard Group
Limited. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and Herzberg’s dual factor theories formed the theoretical
framework of the study. Permission for data collection was sought from the National
Commission for Science, Technology and Innovation and the Human Resource Manager of the
Standard Group Limited. Stratified sampling technique was used to sample the eleven (11)
departments in Standard Group Limited. The sample of the study consisted of all the middle
level executives working with the Company. Quantitative research design was used in order to
establish the empirical basis for linking corporate wellness programmes with employee
efficiency and job performance. The survey method was employed by use of questionnaires
administered by a Research Assistant. The Job Performance Scale developed by
Goodman&Svyantek (1999) was used to measure job performance. Employees’ efficiency was
measured using the efficiency ratio issued by the company during the previous appraisal. Data
analysis was carried out using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The analyzed
data was presented in tables, frequencies and percentages. Correlation between the variables of
the study was calculated using the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient. The study
found out that Standard Group Limited offered corporate wellness programmes such as physical
fitness, smoking cessation, alcohol and substance abuse rehabilitation, stress management and
health education programmes. A strong correlation was established between corporate wellness
programmes and employee efficiency. There was no significant correlation between corporate
wellness programmes and Job performance. The study concluded that corporate wellness
programmes increase employees’ efficiency.
