Online Corporate Wellness Counselor

Most corporate wellness programs get built by someone in HR who's stretched thin across a dozen other responsibilities, which is part of why so many of them end up as a yoga app nobody opens and a once-a-year seminar people forget by lunch. This role is different — a dedicated Online Corporate Wellness Counselor whose job is to build, run, and measure wellness support that companies and their employees use. Salary is $235,000 annually, fully remote, open to applicants across the USA, Canada, the UK, European countries, Australia, India, and beyond. What the Role Covers You'd design wellness programs specific to each organization rather than a generic template — stress management, mindfulness training, work-life balance strategies — starting with an actual assessment of what that workforce needs rather than guessing. Programs get measured with real data and employee feedback, and adjusted based on what's actually working, not just rolled out once and left alone. Beyond program design, you'd run virtual coaching sessions and workshops directly with employees, working one-on-one with people managing stress, performance pressure, or mental health concerns that are affecting their work. Some of that happens live, some through recorded content, guides, or tools delivered through digital wellness platforms. What fills a typical week Designing and running tailored corporate wellness programs Conducting individual coaching sessions and group workshops Partnering with HR and leadership on wellness policy and strategy Tracking program outcomes and reporting results back to organizations Producing educational content — guides, articles, video material What's Required A bachelor's degree in psychology, counseling, human resources, or a closely related field, along with certification as a wellness coach or licensure as a mental health professional. You'll need at least 3 years of experience in corporate wellness, mental health counseling, or employee wellness programs —specifically, general coaching experience without a corporate context doesn't quite cut it. Experience with virtual coaching or digital wellness delivery is expected, not optional. Beyond the resume line items, this role calls for someone who can talk comfortably with a junior employee and a VP in the same week, using a completely different register for each, without losing credibility with either. Skills That Matter Here Genuine empathy paired with the ability to build trust quickly across seniority levels Comfort presenting to groups over video without losing engagement Data literacy — reading feedback and outcome numbers, not just collecting them Familiarity with digital wellness platforms and remote collaboration tools Pay and What Surrounds It Beyond base salary, there's ongoing access to training, certification programs, and wellness industry conferences, along with a genuinely flexible schedule built around your own working style rather than a fixed shift. Client engagements come partly through Naukri Mitra's recruitment network, which connects wellness professionals with organizations actively looking to build out this kind of role rather than treat it as an afterthought. Who You'd Work With HR teams and leadership at client organizations, plus nutrition, fitness, and psychology specialists when a wellness strategy needs more than one discipline to actually work. You'd be the person translating between "what employees need" and "what leadership will actually fund," which takes some diplomacy on top of the clinical or coaching background. Why This Work Matters Burnout and disengagement cost companies more than most wellness budgets ever will, but that connection isn't always obvious to leadership until someone lays it out clearly. When done well, this role doesn't just help individual employees feel better — it shifts how an entire organization thinks about whether performance and well-being have to compete in the first place. To Apply Send a resume, proof of relevant certification or licensure, and a short note on your experience specifically in building or running corporate wellness programs. Candidates comfortable working independently across multiple client organizations, with strong communication skills and a genuine interest in workplace mental health, will find this role a strong fit.
