Health Initiatives

We conduct structured programmes to promote the health and wellbeing of our human resource, leading to higher productivity and efficiency.

We have a comprehensive health insurance policy for our employees and their dependents. We also facilitate a health insurance policy for dependents of employees not covered in the corporate health insurance policy. Our wellness portal comprises the latest health-related articles, news and other information on topics of health and wellbeing. We also carry out industrial hygiene surveys at our major setups.

For preventive health management, our workforce undergoes a periodic medical examination.

Services of designated physicians are provided at major marketing locations, while we have tie-ups with local hospitals at smaller locations to ensure access to health services. We organise several health education programmes, awareness sessions and diagnostic camps for our employees, their families and other stakeholders.

We organise health camps for contract workmen at work locations. Medical check-ups are carried out for contract workmen and truck crew to ensure their wellbeing. In these check-ups, the workmen are made aware of their current health status and advised suitable measures to maintain good health. We also undertake various drives and celebrate important health-related days at our locations
