Five-star hotels in Kenya have experienced high labour turnover which could be attributed to low engagement of workers. This study examined the effect of corporate wellness programs on employee engagement in five-star hotels in Kenya. The study was guided by Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory. Positivism research philosophy, descriptive research design and stratified proportionate sampling were adopted. Data was gathered from a sample of 369 workers in seven five-star hotels in Kenya using questionnaires. Two five-star hotels in Nairobi City County served as the sites of a pilot test. The acquired data was subjected to both descriptive and inferential statistical analysis with the aid of SPSS version 24. The mean, standard deviation, coefficient of deviation, and percentages were illustrations of descriptive statistics. Multiple regression analysis and correlation analysis were representations of inferential statistics. The results showed that employee engagement and corporate wellness initiatives at Kenya's five-star hotels were significantly and positively related. Based on the study's findings, employee engagement and corporate wellness initiatives in Kenya's five-star hotels are positively correlated, and this relationship was moderated by organizational support. The study recommended that five-star hotels should prioritize the accessibility and convenience of recreational facilities, focus on diversifying the available wellness programs to cater to a broader range of employee preferences and conduct regular surveys or focus groups in order to gauge employee interests and preferences.
