Quick Summary
HPB’s Workplace Outreach Wellness (WOW) programme, which gave Singapore employers subsidised health screenings and wellness talks, officially ended on 28 February 2026. There is no single, formally branded replacement. HPB is instead directing employers and employees toward its Healthy 365 app, an individual-engagement tool rather than a team-bookable package.
This affects Singapore employers, particularly small and mid-sized companies, who used WOW as their main wellness touchpoint. It means auditing what WOW covered, deciding whether Healthy 365 is enough of a stopgap, and budgeting for a direct occupational health provider if structured screenings and talks need to continue on schedule.

What the WOW Programme Provided
The WOW programme gave Singapore employers, particularly smaller companies without in-house wellness budgets, access to subsidised or free workplace health activities.
- On-site health screenings
- Wellness talks and workshops
- Structured programming employers could offer staff minimal setup on their end
It was widely used as an entry point into workplace health for companies that had never run a formal wellness initiative before. Read more about how AnjouHealth structures ongoing programmes in our Corporate Wellness Programmes Guide Singapore.
What HPB Is Offering Now
HPB has confirmed the programme’s conclusion but has not announced a single named successor programme. Instead, HPB is directing employers and employees toward its existing Healthy 365 app ecosystem, including ongoing physical activity programmes and periodic engagement challenges (such as the Eat, Drink, Shop Healthy Challenge) as the primary channel for continued workplace health engagement (HPB Workplace).
WOW (Before) vs. Healthy 365 (Now)
| Factor | WOW Programme (Before) | Healthy 365 (Now) |
| Delivery | Employer-bookable, on-site | Self-directed app engagement |
| Who is it for | Whole team, HR-scheduled | Individual employees opt in |
| Structure | Screenings, talks, workshops | Activity programmes, periodic challenges |
| Cost to employer | Subsidised/free | No employer cost, but no employer control |
In practical terms, there’s no like-for-like replacement for the structured, employer-facilitated screenings and talks WOW provided.
Why This Matters for Employers
WOW ending without a direct replacement creates three practical gaps, not just a scheduling inconvenience.
- Screening cadence risk
Companies that used WOW for annual or biannual health screenings need a new plan, a paid provider, insurer-linked screening, or an in-house occupational health partner, or screenings will simply lapse.
- Engagement gap
WOW’s talks and workshops gave HR teams a ready-made wellness calendar. Without it, that calendar needs to be built and resourced directly.
- No clear single source of truth yet
HPB hasn’t branded a formal successor; employers searching for “what replaces WOW” are currently met with fragmented, non-authoritative answers.
Who Should Act First
Companies most exposed are those that used WOW as their only wellness mechanism, no existing occupational health partner, and have no internal HR wellness budget. See our Occupational Health & Wellness Singapore overview for what a direct provider relationship typically covers.
What Employers Should Do Next
- Audit what WOW was covering for your organisation screenings, talks, or both, so you know precisely what needs replacing rather than assuming a single successor covers everything.
- Encourage Healthy 365 adoption as a no-cost bridge to individual engagement while you sort out anything WOW-covered at the company level.
- Budget for a direct provider relationship if WOW was your only screening mechanism; see our Occupational Health & Safety Programme Singapore for how this is structured.
- Watch HPB’s Workplace page for updates, since HPB has confirmed the programme’s end but not ruled out future workplace health initiatives.
Frequently Asked Questions (WOW Programme Singapore)
- When did HPB’s Workplace Outreach Wellness (WOW) programme end?
The WOW programme concluded on 28 February 2026.
- What replaces the WOW programme?
HPB has not announced a single named replacement. It is directing employers and employees to its existing Healthy 365 app, which offers physical activity programmes and periodic engagement challenges, but this is a more self-directed model than WOW’s employer-facilitated screenings and talks.
- Can my company still get subsidised health screenings from HPB?
There is no confirmed like-for-like subsidised screening scheme replacing WOW as of this writing. Employers relying on WOW for screenings should plan for a direct provider relationship or watch HPB’s Workplace page for updates.
- Is Healthy 365 a replacement for WOW?
Not directly, Healthy 365 is an individual-facing app with activity programmes and challenges, not an employer-bookable screening or talks package the way WOW was.
- What should small businesses do now that WOW has ended?
Audit what WOW covered for your team, encourage individual staff to use Healthy 365 in the meantime, and consider budgeting for a direct occupational health or wellness provider if screenings or structured programming were central to your wellness plan.
Wellness Without Waiting on a Subsidy
WOW’s end doesn’t have to mean your wellness calendar goes quiet; it’s a prompt to build something that doesn’t depend on a government programme’s renewal cycle.
- A direct provider relationship gives you control over screening cadence, not HPB’s programme calendar.
- Healthy 365 still has a role as an individual-engagement layer, not your whole strategy.
- The companies that act now avoid a scramble next time a subsidy programme changes.
