DO YOU NEED A
GYM AT WORK?
According to a Leeds
Metropolitan University study,
on days when employees
visited the gym, their
experience at work changed.
They reported managing their
time more effectively, being
more productive, and having
smoother interactions with
their colleagues. Salesforce,
a Great Place to Work®
Certifi ed TM organisation, offers
its employees up to INR 5,000
per month under its wellness
reimbursement scheme. The
scheme covers a host of options
like health club membership,
sport training facilities,
yoga, and massages. Not all
organisations need a gym at
work but all can benefi t from
healthier employees.
Room To Read, one of
India’s Best NGOs to work
with as per a recent report by
Great Place to Work® Institute,
has a Child Travel Policy for
any employee who is a parent
traveling for business with a
child under the age of two. The
organisation aims to reduce
long-distance travel for working
moms who are breastfeeding.
However, in situations
where travel is a must, the
organisation supports the mom
by giving her the opportunity
to bring the child along. The
cost of travel & stay for the
child and caregiver is borne by
the organisation. The policy
is open for male employees as
well.
One-on-one coaching
with leaders gives employees
the chance to share their
ideas, grievances, and career
prospects in a private setting.
It also helps leaders build
empathy & understanding with
their team members. Such an
exercise becomes catalyst for
enhancing performance of
both individuals and team. At
Intuit, a Great Place To Work®
Certifi ed TM organisation, a
dedicated Coaching Awesome
Program was introduced
wherein leaders coach their
team members one-on-one
over a span of 4-6 weeks. By
paving the way for profound
behavioural changes, the
program has developed upon
the potential of the work pool.
