The health of employees is also a huge determinant in the productivity of organizations, engagement and success. SDG 3 [Sustainable Development Goal 3] is focused on the need to have healthy lives and well-being of all along with the workplace because well-being is pertinent in a workplace setting as well. Adequate organizational communications may further be the key milestone towards developing health-conscious cultures and improving employee health. This paper examines the connection of the internal communication practices with its implications to health and wellness program in organizations. The research deriving its findings through a mixed-method approach, with surveys and interviews with the employees of various industries, identifies important methods of communication that have positive effects on employee awareness, participation, and engagement in well-being programs. The results suggest that participatory methods and leadership, open multi-channel and frequent interactions promoted the health-conscious behaviors and work satisfaction noticeably. The paper ends by giving guidelines that organizations can use to ensure they put in place sound internal communication systems and also admits that there are limitations associated with the scope of the industry and sample diversity. The next ways about how to involve the digital communication platform to develop in the future are the possibility to investigate the effect and measure long-term consequences of internal communication on employee health indicators..
