Concerned with the rising health issues among the young professionals working in the IT Industry, the Group of Technopark Companies (GTECH) in association with the Kerala State IT Mission, is organising a Session on ‘Healthy Life style at IT Workplaces’ on 12th February 2009 at the Technopark Campus. Represented by CEO’s of all companies in Technopark Trivandrum, GTECH is an apex organisation founded in 2000 to promote the cause of the community of IT companies in Kerala.
According to Binu Sankar, CEO of GTECH, “The main objective of this session is to bring together the HR professionals, Health Experts and select health organisations on a common platform, and to discuss the concept of maintaining a healthy life style at the workplace. I hope we will be able to sensitise the Technopark Community on Health and Wellness at the IT Workplace”.
The session on ‘Healthy Life style at IT Workplaces’ will include discussions and presentations on the foundation of creating a healthy workforce, which will dwell on prevention of lifestyle diseases, Healthy Nutrition and Stress Management. The half day programme will see a leading Cardiologist, Diabetologist and also an Industrial Psychologist, among others, making presentations on preventive strategies to the Techies.
Spreading the awareness on preventing lifestyle diseases associated with the IT industry seems to be the best HR initiative which companies can offer. After all, prevention is better than cure!
