Abstract

The shift to hybrid work models has significantly transformed employee engagement and well-being. This study investigates the impact of virtual wellness programs on employee burnout and retention. Using a quantitative approach, data was collected from 150 employees across various industries. Statistical tools including descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis were applied. The findings indicate that virtual wellness programs significantly reduce burnout and positively influence employee engagement and retention. The study provides practical implications for HR professionals to design effective well-being strategies in hybrid work environments.
