Prioritizing Mental well-being in the workplace!
At SPAN Technology Services, we believe that a healthy mind is as important as a healthy body. Every year, the 10th of October is celebrated as World Mental Health Day. We take this opportunity to reflect on our commitment to supporting the mental well-being of our employees. We believe that to innovate and perform at our best, we must cultivate a balanced environment.
Long hours, complex projects, and the ever-present pressure to deliver can weigh on our mental health if not managed carefully. At SPAN, we recognize that taking care of mental health isn’t just an individual responsibility but also a corporate one.
The Power of play & relaxation:
One of our key steps in promoting mental wellness is providing opportunities for relaxation and play during the workday.
We have created spaces within our premises where employees can take a break, unwind, and recharge during their break hours.
To help relieve stress and promote healthy social interaction, we provide access to a variety of indoor games such as carrom, chess, and Table Tennis. These amenities foster relaxation and offer employees a fun and engaging way to take a break and reconnect with colleagues and recharge their minds.
Also, for those who prefer a peaceful retreat, we encourage cozy reading during break hours with a range of books. Our CEO, Naga Palanisamy, and Mentor, Vasanth T P, often interact with employees, boosting their energies by suggesting and circulating books to continuously learn and grow. Whether it’s a quick read during lunch or a few minutes of quick reflection on a novel, we encourage employees to take time out of their busy schedules to immerse themselves in a good book.
SPAN Technology Services also took a giant step to give employees the flexibility to pick their break schedule based on their comfort at work. Beyond providing these physical amenities, we’re focused on creating a culture that encourages Candor in everything we do, reducing friction at the workplace. We believe open communication is a priority for building a supportive environment where employees feel comfortable discussing challenges without stigma.
Why it matters?
When we take care of our mental health, we become more productive, creative and engaged in our work. By providing a supportive environment SPAN Technology services ensures that our employees can be their best selves both personally and professionally. After all great ideas come from clear minds and our focus on mental health is one way we empower our teams to innovate and excel.
On this Mental health day, let’s remember that it’s okay to take a break, relax and recharge. Together, we can continue to build a workplace where mental well-being is prioritized every day. At SPAN Technology Services, we are proud that our employees are celebrated and cared for today and every day.
