Kamath shared the results of the health programme that was introduced to improve the fitness of employees while working from home amid Covid-19 pandemic.
With the prolonged 'Work From Home' culture and long working hours taking a toll on employees' health amid the Covid-19 pandemic, Indian unicorn Zerodha Broking Limited took to Twitter to share surprising results of its initiative to improve its employees' health amid the pandemic.
Nitin Kamath, the co-founder of one of the largest Indian stock market broker revealed how he lured his employees with cash incentives to make them fit as they work from home for months now.
Revealing his mantra on Twitter, Kamath shared the results of the health programme that was introduced to improve the fitness of employees, who were gripped with health concerns due to lack of physical activity and work-life balance amid the pandemic.
“Post the first lockdown, like everywhere, our team @zerodhaonlineas a whole was probably the unhealthiest ever, due to the lack of physical activity, work-life imbalance, bad diet, & more. We thought of a way to nudge the team to get healthy and the results are phenomenal,” he said.
