Bengaluru-based cloud services provider G7 CR Technologies recently announced that it has decided to pass on the various benefits to its employees for a safer and healthy work environment.
The company has announced a work from home allowance of ₹18,000 for all its employees. The intent is to aid the purchase of UPS and office furniture for their employees to work comfortably from the safety of their home. The company went a mile ahead to deliver comfortable chairs from its office to the employee’s homes and is also reimbursing monthly internet bills.
In addition, the company has also announced benefits of ₹1Lakh as hospitalization expenses for COVID related treatment. This amount will be over and above their insurance cover and can be availed by the employees and their immediate family members.
G7 CR is ensuring that its employees can work with facilities as close to the facilities available at the office. For the ones who had inadequate facilities to sustain working at home, desks and chairs were sent to their homes. To ensure that electricity was not a hindrance during random blackouts, storms, etc, Home-Inverters were also provided. This has brought the work at home standards very close to that of an office environment’s standards without hindering the home experience.
“Our employee’s safety is our first priority, 100% of our staff is working from home and will continue to do so until it is safe for our people to come to office. We continue to disrupt the new normal and will put our people at the centre of every decision we make as an organization,” said Christopher Richard, Managing Director, G7 CR Technologies India Pvt Ltd.
Broadband connections have also been offered to all employees, so that they not only remain connected to the workplace but also enjoy their time during non-working hours. The company is also ensuring that constant townhalls and virtual team meetings are conducted which have resulted in an increase in morale and team spirit.
During these testing times, due to all the facilities and initiatives taken, G7 CR is ensuring that the staff is not only closer to their family at home, but are closer to the family at work as well.
Along with these benefits, the company has also announced several other benefits such as; ensuring that Annual bonuses were paid as planned in April 2020. Also the company preponed salary date for all its employees by 10 days for 3 months (April, May & June).
In the crisis of unemployment, the company said that it has hired more people during the pandemic and aims to hire 30 more people in the next 30 days. The company also said that it has not deducted salaries nor laid off any of its employees, including the administrative staff.
