Dalmia Sports Committee creates a year-round itinerary for enjoying, practicing and initiating sports activities not only within the group but also in industry level competition. Every year, the talents of Dalmia Group takes part in Inter-corporate Sports carnival, ‘Oxygen’ wherein corporates across Chennai and surrounding locations participate.

Yoga is a group of physical, mental and spiritual practices or discipline which takes care of needs related to body, mind, and soul. A few organisation-wide programmes include Yoga classes, Prerna, Anandam, Prarambh, etc. The WINLIFE monthly calendar includes organising Yoga workshops, meditation classes, motivational talks by motivational speakers from different walks of life, ensuring the participation from the talent and immediate family.

As part of our Work-life balance philosophy, we ensure that all talents mandatorily avail their entire leave accrued during the financial year. This is our message to the employees that spending time with family or self is as important as time at work. Indoor games are conducted on an annual basis to promote physical activity among talents including our third-party stakeholders and support staff (housekeeping, drivers and security staff).

We ensure that our employees stay in a healthy environment. While doctors visit the head office in Delhi thrice a week, we have our own clinics attached to our plants to maintain a healthy environment. Fogging is done in our townships and schools at regular intervals. We believe continuous communication is key to keeping your flock healthy. Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) mailers are sent to talents on various topics.

Communication on fire safety and mock fire drills are organised for all talents. Emergency Response Teams (ERT) have been created across locations by following proper procedure and the entire communication is done through internal emails & whatsapp messaging to all talents. News updates (i.e. newspaper articles, social media updates) about Dalmia Bharat Group companies are shared on a weekly basis with all talents through internal emails.

We communicate and live by our Values – Integrity, Trust and Respect, Humility and Commitment. The Dalmia Bharat Group Values were signed off by following the methodology of launching E-poll for talents. Talent Surveys are conducted to know the pulse of the environment and on the basis of the result, an Employee Value Proposition (EVP) is created and executed.

Our CSR teams help make the last mile connectivity of all Centrally Sponsored Schemes of the Government of India and we actively take part in ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan’. It started with our offices, then moved to our premises and plants and now to our houses and societies. Sustainability is the fourth important pillar for us and we have taken a pledge to be the greenest company in the next few years.

In collaboration with Information Management (IM team), we clear electrical waste as per Government of India guidelines. All our CFLs are replaced with LED lights in our offices and we are now donating LEDs to the nearby villages as part of CSR.
