Positive Pulse: Our New Wellness Initiative

December 21, 2020   \\\   Posted By CandorTechSpace

Launched in April 2020, the initiative was all about engaging with our tenants, partners and employees and supporting their health and well-being while they work remotely.

As people strive to live in the new normal, organisations have introduced employee-wellness initiatives and customised programmes to keep their employees informed and engaged as they work remotely. This year, Brookfield Properties launched the ‘Positive Pulse’ wellness initiative to engage with its tenants, partners and employees virtually and keep them physically and mentally upbeat. The goal was to build a sense of community and create meaningful connections in new, exciting ways.

Commenting on the initiative, Alok Aggarwal, MD & CEO India Office Business, Brookfield Properties, says, “We have always kept employee engagement at the forefront of our operations. We have been conducting various offline engagement activities including sports and entertainment meets, workshops, and inter-corporate tournaments, among others. However, since it is not possible at the moment while we ensure compliance with social distancing, we have taken the online route to continue with our journey.”
