Demonstrat­ing the commitment to wellbeing of employees, Panasonic India announced the roll-out of an employee programme designed to place well-being at the core of the business. The aim of the well-being programme is to foster overall developmen­t of the employees and maximise their true potential by improving the quality of their work life by adopting wellness strategies.

The wellness programme envisions a social equitable environmen­t that binds all employees to learn, live and achieve together in the company.

The programme marks the beginning of a comprehens­ive health and productivi­ty initiative­s that will address important issues like the emotional and mental health of the workforce, their social connectivi­ty, intellectu­al capability and sense of fulfilment on the job, among other aspects.

Unveiling the new logo of the well-being programme, Manish Sharma, President and CEO Panasonic India & South Asia, said, “Panasonic believes in its founder Konosuke Matsushita’s philosophy that if a company is to succeed, its employees need to grow as human beings. At Panasonic, the well-being of our people is at the core of all our activities both internally and externally.

As we enter into our centenary year, our focus on initiative­s built around an individual’s profession­al and personal growth will continue to expand. This next phase of Vibrant Panasonic program will help us demonstrat­e that the organizati­on genuinely cares about the wellbeing of all the employees.”

According to the company, Panasonic has been experienci­ng exponentia­l growth over the last few years and it’s extremely important to make sure that the employees are well equipped to deal with this growth.

The Vibrant Panasonic programme will assist the employees in tackling elements such as mental and emotional health, social connectivi­ty and sense of fulfillmen­t on the job.

Further, it will assist employees in realizing their individual characteri­stics which in-turn will enhance their overall developmen­t”, said Adarsh Mishra, CHRO Panasonic India.

To take a note on the holistic prosperity of its employees, Panasonic India in associatio­n with Human Capital Services conducted an internal survey of over 700 employees on the dimensions of wellness.

Based on the survey findings, the company designed a new employee engagement programme aligned to create a positive impact on employees’ wellness and contribute to their overall developmen­t.

The innovative engagement activities will promote holistic well-being including physical fitness, healthy eating and mental wellness.

The initiative­s will be introduced as a part of second phase of the ‘Vibrant Panasonic’, a HR programme that was first launched in 2014. The aim of this initiative was to not only create performanc­e oriented culture that binds all the employees together but also to build an engaged and committed work force and provide employees with a platform where ideas, thoughts and feedback are expressed freely.

The next phase of the Vibrant Panasonic programme widens the programme’s focus from enabling employee engagement to holistic employee developmen­t.

THE INNOVATIVE ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES WILL PROMOTE HOLISTIC WELLBEING INCLUDING PHYSICAL FITNESS, HEALTHY EATING AND MENTAL WELLNESS.
