Healthy Habits – Happy Employees

Categories: People

Most employers check in with their employees to ensure they’re staying productive and meeting goals at work. At Kovai.co, we understand that our employees are our greatest asset, and we want to ensure that they are healthy and happy both in and out of the workplace. There are estimates that full-time employees spend a quarter of their life at work. For many people across industries, this means sitting at desks and looking at computer monitors for long hours every day. 

We at Kovai.co believe that our people’s health goes hand in hand with their workplace performance, prompting us to prioritize our people’s wellness constantly. That’s why we have created a wellness program that focuses on the holistic well-being of our employees.

Stay active, Stay healthy

One way to prioritize our employees’ physical health is by encouraging and incentivizing physical activity. Regular fitness challenges and events keep our employees motivated and engaged. In addition to offering refreshing beverages at our cafeteria, we provide recreational facilities like chessboard, foosball table, and carrom board.

We also motivate our employees to take part in external corporate tournaments for sports such as badminton, cricket, and football, representing Kovai.co. Encourage them to form teams and practice regularly in preparation for these tournaments. These options encourage our employees to take breaks and engage in friendly competition, which can help boost morale and productivity.

A Healthier Plate

A balanced diet is the perfect complement to exercise when it comes to physical wellness. We encourage healthy eating habits among our employees by offering a range of nutritious meal options at our cafeteria, at a highly subsidized cost, making it affordable for everyone.

Our cafeteria is also stocked with green and lemon tea, which are rich in antioxidants and help detoxify the body. We understand the importance of a healthy diet in achieving and maintaining physical wellness, and our aim is to make it easy and convenient for our employees to make healthy choices.

Ergonomic Workspaces

Maintaining proper posture is crucial for employees who spend long hours sitting and working on computers/laptops to avoid discomfort and injuries. Kovai.co provides ergonomic chairs that support and prevent strain on the neck, spine, and shoulders, along with larger desktop monitors to promote better posture and reduce eye strain.

Research shows that people who sit for more than eight hours a day without physical activity have a higher risk of health complications.   To create a comfortable workspace, we offer a range of unique and comfortable seating options to allow employees to recharge their minds, refocus their attention, and perform at their best.

Mind Matters

We understand that work-life balance is essential for overall well-being, which is why we offer flexible working arrangements and encourage employees to take time off when they need it. We offer mindfulness and yoga classes, organize workshops that help our employees manage stress and anxiety. Our goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where employees feel comfortable seeking help and support when they need it.

We understand the importance of fostering a sense of community and collaboration among our employees. To encourage socialization and teamwork, we host team outings every quarter, where we organize team-building activities and fun games that inspire our employees to work together and build stronger relationships.

Securing Financial Future

At Kovai.co, we believe that financial stability leads to a healthier and happier workforce. We offer financial planning and education programs that cover a range of topics such as retirement planning, investing, financial management, and more.

In addition, we offer competitive compensation and benefits packages that reflect our commitment to employee well-being. We believe that financial wellness is a key component of a healthy and balanced life.

Health Benefits

Offering quality health benefits is a top priority for Kovai.co. Our comprehensive health insurance policy is a family floater where employees and immediate dependents can be covered.

To further support our employees’ health, we organize an annual wellness camp that includes eye check-ups, dental check-ups, blood donation drives, and vaccination drives during pandemics. This allows our employees to access essential healthcare services conveniently and at no additional cost.

In conclusion, our wellness program at Kovai.co is designed to promote the holistic well-being of our employees. We are committed to creating a culture of wellness at Kovai.co and we believe that our program is a key component to this.
