Health for all

On top of our health and safety policies and workplace safety rules, we recognized the value of offering a variety of initiatives across our organization to support the well-being of our colleagues that was easily accessible. In one such instance, our Asia-Pacific team partnered with a third-party vendor, introducing an online platform that allows our colleagues to access a wide range of behavioral tools, life coaches, and counsellors. 

The available activities go beyond just standard employee assistance,” says Senior HR Manager Yogita Parab. “The platform offers avenues for colleagues to check in on themselves, whether it is through self-help tools for their emotional well-being, or having the opportunity to access additional professional help, should they require it.”

As the importance of looking after one’s mental and emotional health has become more prevalent in the past years, we wanted to ensure our colleagues can also avail themselves of such facilities.

“While our team became part of the Caldic global organization, our people have experienced a significant transformative period in the past years. We are cognizant of how this has affected our colleagues and wanted to find a way to provide the necessary care amid these changes, so we ensured that the service was made available immediately,” adds Yogita.  

Since the rollout last year, 45% of our APAC colleagues have been using the platform. We have also seen an improved response from our colleagues about the service and what more we can do to support their health and well-being, and we are working to incorporate the feedback.
