Amara Raja Group, a responsible corporate citizen committed to giving back to the community, recently announced an inoculation drive for its employees and their immediate family members. Safeguarding the health and well-being of its employees has always been a top priority for the company, and this initiative comes in response to the Government's vaccination program for all Indian citizens aged 18 to 44.
Workplace Vaccination Program for Plant Location Employees
For employees at its plant locations, Amara Raja will initiate a workplace vaccination program in accordance with Government guidelines. The company has partnered with authorized healthcare organizations, agencies, and PVCs to ensure that all plant location employees, regardless of age, are vaccinated.
Vaccination Reimbursement for Non-Plant Location Employees and Families
For employees located at non-plant locations, Amara Raja will reimburse the cost of vaccination. Additionally, the company will provide reimbursement for the vaccination cost for three immediate family members of each employee.
Statement from Mr. Jayadev Galla
Mr. Jayadev Galla, Co-Founder and Vice Chairman of Amara Raja Group, who is eligible for the vaccination, stated, "The second wave of the pandemic has gripped us all, and the situation presently is worryingly unprecedented and uncertain. While, as an organization, we applaud the Government for their concerted efforts to help us navigate through this health crisis, we wanted to do our part. We understand the urgency of getting everyone vaccinated at the earliest, and therefore, we are undertaking this collective drive for all our employees, across ranks, as well as their immediate family members. We will continue to actively participate in and lead such initiatives in the future, as and when the need arises."
Commitment to Employee Welfare
Prior to the pandemic, Amara Raja Group had undertaken several initiatives for the benefit of its employees and other stakeholders, further solidifying its commitment to the well-being of those it serves.
