PT Pyridam Farma Tbk has won Best Health and Wellness Interventions at the 2025-2026 HR Stars Awards Indonesia, proving that a pharmaceutical company knows a thing or two about taking care of its own. This award is specifically designed to highlight companies that go the extra mile, creating unique and innovative programmes that actually make a difference in the daily lives of their employees. Under the direction of Talent Management Lead Jesselyn Cahyadi, the team has built a wellness culture that feels less like a corporate mandate and more like genuine support.
The strategy they have put in place is remarkably thorough, covering the basics while embracing the future of healthcare. Every employee has access to company-provided private insurance, along with a dedicated vaccination programme to keep everyone safe. But they didn’t stop at traditional benefits. They have also rolled out a clever insurance application that allows staff to use telemedicine. This means that instead of worrying about a doctor’s visit, employees can get the help they need right from their phones, making healthcare fit into their busy schedules rather than the other way around.
What really gives this programme its depth, though, is an initiative called “Pyfatalk”. These sessions dive into the topics that people actually care about but don’t always feel comfortable bringing up at work. They cover physical health, of course, but they also tackle mental health and even financial wellness. It is a smart move that acknowledges that if someone is stressed about their finances or feeling burnt out, it affects their whole self, not just their performance between nine and five.
The feedback from the team suggests that these efforts are hitting the mark. Participation rates have been strong, with many employees engaging in the various sessions and services. More importantly, the people on the ground seem to love it. In recent evaluations, employees gave the company’s efforts a satisfaction score of over 3.5 out of 5. By focusing on the person behind the professional, PT Pyridam Farma Tbk has shown that a little care goes a long way in building a loyal and healthy workforce.
