Our sessions and gatherings always commence with a moment of gratitude or a simple expression of thanks. Across all our facilities, SMILES Cards are readily available for anyone to use. Through our iAppreciate digital platform, individuals have the opportunity to acknowledge, appreciate, and celebrate the contributions and support received from their team members, managers, and colleagues, both professionally and personally. This culture of appreciation extends to their contributions to the Business Unit, Happiest Minds, and the wider community, fostering a spirit of gratitude year-round.
Gratitude is at the core of Happiest Minds culture. As in previous years, we organized Gratitude Week from November 20 to December 8, celebrating the profound impact of appreciation. Throughout this period, we encouraged everyone to reflect on and express gratitude for the positive aspects of their lives. Notable achievements during Gratitude Week included:
Our culture is deeply rooted in the practice of actively and empathetically engaging with others, moving beyond mere hearing to fully grasp their perspectives, emotions, and needs. This transcends mere auditory reception; it entails realizing their perspective, emotions, and needs.
We have fostered positive changes in several key areas:
