Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, a lot of companies are going the extra mile to ensure the well-being of their employees. In times like these we have got to witness how India Inc. is lending a helping hand and demonstrating empathy through various initiatives for the overall wellbeing of employees and even taking care of their families. Companies have become generous and are taking efforts to provide support during such times.
Godrej Properties Limited (GPL) (BSE scrip id: GODREJPROP), one of India’s leading real estate developers has introduced a novel initiative ‘Taking a Pause to Heal’ to help the employees to press the pause button and take a breather. Below is a quote by Mr. Mohit Malhotra, MD and CEO, Godrej Properties Ltd. where he has elaborated on the initiative.
“Ever since our employees started working remotely, we have rolled out mindful initiatives to ensure their general and mental well-being. The work from home burnout is real and the last thirteen months of Covid and the second wave have taken a toll on people; emotionally and mentally. As a company it is our responsibility to be with our employees and we understand that in tough times like these, everyone deserves a break. We introduced ‘Taking a Pause to Heal’ initiative where these three days starting 5th May plus the weekend will be a complete break from everything work-related. We would really like our employees to take this time off to rest, relax, heal and spend time with loved ones at home. This is applicable to close to 2000 permanent employees and ~600 contract employees working across all our locations in India. We have also proactively given a heads up to our customers also so that the sales and customer centricity teams can also take a break. Being a part of the Godrej Group, we are committed to the overall health and well-being of our employees. We will continue to support and stand by each other and sail through the pandemic together ”
