This article provides comprehensive coverage of the concept of employee health, examining its connection to employees' overall performance and the ideal workplace culture and environment necessary for achieving success. This passage provides a concise overview of the difficulties encountered by employees in achieving a harmonious equilibrium between their professional and personal lives, as well as the subsequent impact on their general well-being. The primary inquiry of utmost significance is to the requisite organizational measures that must be undertaken to foster employee welfare within the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and in the aftermath, with the ultimate aim of achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Three. This study employs a qualitative approach by doing a desktop analysis of material through a comprehensive examination of existing literature. The data is subjected to conceptual analysis.

These programs are grounded in the notion that employee health is interconnected with employee performance and external factors. Furthermore, this study provides recommendations that can be used to enhance the effectiveness of Employee Wellness Programs (EWPs) in order to achieve the objectives outlined in Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3) and enhance employee performance.
