ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE

Finding happiness is not just a pursuit, but a necessity for our well-being. Mindfulness, in turn, can be a powerful tool to help us cultivate this emotion. By being mindful, we gain greater awareness of our experiences, which allows us to appreciate the present moment, connect more deeply with ourselves and others, and discover new sources of joy and fulfillment.

Culture of Happiness Evangelism

Happiverse

An initiative started by our Happiness Evangelism team in Q4 of FY23, Happiverse (conjunction of happiness and universe) is a step towards promoting employee happiness, which includes providing opportunities for social connection, offering mental health support, providing work-life balance resources, and promoting a culture of appreciation in action.

CULTURE OF GRATITUDE

At Happiest Minds, we begin all sessions and meet-ups by expressing gratitude or simply being thankful. All our facilities encourage people to freely use SMILES Cards or send iAppreciate messages to acknowledge and celebrate the contribution of their colleagues.

In the history of Happiest Minds, Gratitude Week (28th Nov – 4th Dec) has embarked on a Smilestone by achieving:

CULTURE OF LISTENING

The culture of listening at Happiest Minds is about the practice of actively and empathetically engaging with others when they communicate. This includes not just hearing the words they are saying, but also understanding their perspective, feelings, and needs.

We have made a positive impact in the following areas:

Ask EB - A portal for Happiest Minds to post questions for the Executive Board (EB), and the answers are posted within 24 hours.

AHMM/Townhalls - People are encouraged to ask questions and provide feedback directly to the leadership team at AHMM/Townhall.

We Hear - You can report sexual harassment or discrimination to the Chief People Officer using We Hear. An email will be sent directly to the mailbox of the CPO to initiate the process.

CULTURE OF MINDFULNESS

The culture of mindfulness refers to a set of attitudes and practices that encourage people to be fully present in the moment, without judgment or distraction. It involves intentionally paying attention to the present moment, being aware of one's thoughts and feelings, and cultivating a sense of openness and curiosity.

Mindfulness training involves mental activities designed to rewire the neural networks of the brain.
