- Award aims to encourage innovators to identify solutions to inspire health and wellbeing initiatives for the global Energy sector
Burjeel Holdings, a leading super-specialty healthcare provider in the MENA region, and Response Plus Medical Services (RPM), the largest pre-hospital care and emergency medical services provider in the region, have jointly launched the $1 million Human Energy Health and Wellbeing Award at ADIPEC 2024 to boost workplace wellness across the global Energy sector.
The global energy sector has made significant strides in prioritising the health and wellbeing of its workforce. Building on these efforts, Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil, Founder and Chairman of Burjeel Holdings, and Omran Al Khoori, Chairman of RPM Holding, announced the award during ADIPEC 2024, encouraging CEOs and senior executives from major global energy organisations to further advance holistic wellbeing across the industry.
The Human Energy Health and Wellbeing Award that focuses on initiatives using AI to enhance mental and physical health, features two categories. A $1 million Wellbeing Investment supporting SMEs and startups to develop scalable health solutions. And an Excellence Recognition category celebrating large organisations for their innovative employee wellbeing initiatives.
The inaugural winners will be revealed at the next edition of ADIPEC in October 2025. Projects will be evaluated by an independent committee comprising global experts on three key criteria: creating supportive workplace environments, demonstrating innovative approaches, and showing measurable impact.
Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil, Founder and Chairman of Burjeel Holdings, said: “The Energy sector, a cornerstone of global economies, has made significant strides in prioritising the physical and mental health of its workforce. As a trusted, long-standing healthcare partner to the sector, we believe it is our responsibility to foster a culture of holistic wellbeing across the global Energy sector. This award celebrates and inspires innovative and technology-driven solutions that address the diverse health challenges across some of the most challenging and rigorous work environments in the world. We are optimistic that these efforts will inspire impactful improvements in the overall health of Energy sector professionals worldwide.”
Omran Al Khoori, Chairman of RPM Holding, commented: “This award serves as recognition for the companies and innovators coming up with new ideas to promote physical and mental wellbeing in the Energy sector. It is also a platform for translating ideas into concrete solutions that can reinforce workforce resilience in a critical global sector at a time when energy is undergoing a profound transformation.”
The initiative aligns with the ‘We the UAE 2031’ vision and the UAE National Wellbeing Strategy 2031, reinforcing the nation’s role as a hub for creating solutions to global challenges. Unveiled at the stand, the https://hewaward.com/ portal is now open for potential nominees. Further details on application dates, jury, and submissions will be shared later.
