Employee Wellness Programs play a very significant role in the holistic development of an employee. Wellness Programs in the wake of COVID 19 have become an essential requirement for all employees. Living and working during a pandemic coupled with higher stress levels and a time-compressed schedule exemplifies the need for wellness programs as a predominant technique for employee engagement. The present study reviews the theoretical literature about wellness programs, an employee engagement technique, pre and during pandemic between 2017 – 2021 from refereed journals (Web of Science, Science Direct, SCOPUS, JSTOR, ERIC, DOAJ). To address employee issues through wellness programs, a comprehensive systematic review of literature has been done to redesign wellness programs in unprecedented times. The study aims to assess four key dimensions of wellness programs: emotional, intellectual, social, and financial that can help an employee live the best life possibly – mentally, emotionally, and professionally.
