- November 4, 2020
Arogya World today recognised 14 companies as "Healthy Workplaces for 2020" across India, taking the total number of healthy workplaces recognised by Arogya World to 145, with a total workforce of approximately 3.1 million.
The organisations were praised for their contribution to employee health contributing to the prevention of NCD (Non-Communicable Diseases), which is essential to improving efficiency in the workforce. This helps to create a prosperous company and to drive India towards economic growth.
India is experiencing rapid economic growth and working-age people (15 to 64 years of age) form a significant percentage of the population, according to the Lancet Study. In India, full-time employment for employees (46%) is higher than the global average (34%).
The government's Make in India initiatives are aimed at transforming India into a global design and manufacturing centre that creates more jobs and a larger workforce. This must be followed by an increased focus on healing at work. This has to be followed by an increased emphasis on health in the workplace as it is key to the economic progress of India.
On November 4, 2020, at Arogya World's Annual Safe Workplace Conference and Awards ceremony, the leading private sector companies recognised by Arogya World, spanning healthcare, IT, manufacturing, media, ports, consumer goods and real estate, will be recognised as Healthy Workplaces before their peers and thought leaders.
It is an online conference this year and provides best practise networking and learning opportunities for HR managers and individual leaders. There's free registration. Click on the link to participate https://www.bigmarker.com/brandaidevents/Arogya-World-Healthy-Workplace-Conference-Awards

"We congratulate all Safe Workplaces 2020. These winning businesses have declared a sincere interest in workplace health by collaborating with us, and we look forward to working with more businesses to lead to improved efficiency, good economic growth and better health of workers in India."

Arogya World claims that its appraisal process and offerings are continuously being upgraded and strengthened, and this year it has added "Mental Health" as it is now a priority for employers and workers given the evolving dynamics in the workplace. On November 4, 2020, a new and inclusive set of safe workplace standards will be unveiled at the meeting, including mental wellbeing.
