We are all aware of the importance of hiring great staff. But then, what do we do once we find them? Do we ensure our company empowers employees and provides a work environment where they feel valued? We at ibex., believe that the time has come to evolve from simply surviving day-to-day life to genuinely thriving in all facets of life. Be it physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, or socially. The common perception of vulnerability in the workplace is that it's seen as a weakness that could prevent promotions or even get people fired. But ibex. openly supports and encourages this vulnerability because we believe our employees have the right to be completely open and honest without the fear of judgment. The word "health" has become widely used since time immemorial. We have heard this word in everything from detox diets to doctor's offices, but do we realize its importance? ibex. wants its employees to make some lifestyle modifications to feel optimal. We try to do it by positively affecting their brain chemistry through the foods they eat and the amount of exercise they take part in. We not only want them to be healthier, but we profoundly wish to see an increase in their energy levels, mood, brain function, and concentration. We encourage our employees to continue focusing on their physical and mental well-being by giving them time off work because our employees are not machines! Our health and wellness week is a global initiative. During this week, we urge our employees to prioritize themselves by providing them with various classes, physical activities, gift cards, competitions, and nutritious foods. This year, consultants and medical professionals spoke at our locations in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad, health sessions were arranged for posture management and diet concerns. We set up keto diet food stalls for the staff, mental wellness sessions, and other enjoyable events, like Zumba classes and fitness challenges like an arm wrestle, push-up, and plank competitions, were planned to cap off the week in style. After the workout sessions, our employees felt immediately and acutely happier. This happiness drives us to plan such events for our employees in the first place.
