Objective: The study determined the effects of corporate wellness programs (CWP) on Filipino workers’ physical, occupational, socio-emotional, intellectual, and spiritual wellness. Methods: The study looked into the components of a CWP, its forms of communication, the respondents’ level of participation, motivation, and their physical, occupational, socio-emotional, intellectual, and spiritual well-being to determine their wellness status during the pandemic. The study utilized an online survey to examine questions related to the efficacy of such programs, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis to assess the respondents’ sociodemographic profiles, and point biserial correlation to test the association of CWP to their wellness status. Results: The research showed that 90% of the respondents participated in their organization’s CWP, contradicting most studies that state CWP suffers from a low participation rate. CWP initiatives are mostly publicized through electronic mail, printed in memos, then posted on the bulletin board, and shared through the company website and social media. In addition, the study showed that overall wellness mean scores were higher in employees who were aware of their wellness programs than those who were not and in participating vis-à-vis non-participating employees. Conclusion The study’s six assumptions showed positive results, indicating that CWPs are beneficial in improving employees’ overall wellness. However, the per paradigm and overall wellness scores were weakly associated with participation and awareness status based on the point biserial correlation. No adverse effects were recorded in the study. In addition, the study discovered that employees were active in personal wellness initiatives, leading to high scores in their wellness dimensions. The study showed different individual wellness initiatives implying that employees were also proactive about their total well-being.
