Workers prefer sprouts over samosas, and Paramount Products' attempts to improve employee wellness continue

05 February 2022, Mumbai:

Many prominent textile manufacturing businesses place a premium on worker wellness, with a select few even introducing innovative concepts in their facilities.

One such company is the well-known Delhi-based garment export corporation Paramount Products, which places a strong emphasis on appropriate nourishment for its employees.

The organization has found that its employees are increasingly preferring sprouts to samosas for evening munchies. 

They have begun to recognise the need of a healthy diet and have begun to make the appropriate dietary choices. To enhance the popularity of nutritious cuisine, sprouts are also offered during official meetings. Bengal gramme (Kala Chana) sprouts, onion, tomato, cucumber, reddish salad, and cooked potato are used to make Sprouts Chaat.

The firm, which is approaching its 50th anniversary, creates garments for prominent international brands and shops. It has six locations in Delhi-NCR, employing about 4,000 people, and implementing health-related projects across the board.

The organization has a project called "Sehat" (Health), which is a comprehensive health and well-being programme for employees. It addresses both employees' physical and emotional wellbeing. "We conducted a poll of employees and discovered that many of them do not have a good breakfast.

We provided them with appropriate counseling in this respect, as well as a strategy to implement in order to enhance their general health; therefore, the concept was born. Workers are now pleased with this since they are able to enjoy evening snacks while also improving their health," says Rupali Agarwal, the company's Head of CSR.

The export company collaborated on this project with the Ahmedabad-based non-profit IMPAct 4 Nutrition (I4N) Platform (An Initiative for Mobilizing Private Action for Nutrition). IMPACT 4 Nutrition experts have led numerous workshops with the organization, resulting in the staff making better choices.

"Whenever a new employee joins us, we do a thorough health check and maintain MIS."

"We also have facilities to assist workers with their health difficulties," Rupali added.
