WORK-LIFE BALANCE, HEALTH AND SAFETY
Programs on work-life balance and the implementation of new ways of
working seek to achieve a modern organization that promotes equilibrium
between the personal and working lives of our associates, in addition to a
healthy life style. We have reinforced the following programs:
•
•
Workday flexibility, for which we are implementing Habitat, a new concept in
the work environment that drives the collaborative work of teams in open
work schemes and by functions, producing a work ethic concentrated on
improving the work atmosphere, productivity, and results. The Flex Week
program was also implemented, with the participation of staff associates.
It entails adjusting work hours during the week, in such a way that these
associates have Friday afternoons off.
Medical insurance coverage was extended to include childbirth expenses.
Postnatal leave for mothers was implemented, allowing them to have the
maternity leave awarded by law, with a progressive return to their fulltime
schedule during the first 7 months of the child's birth. Postnatal leave for
fathers has been added; they are able to work flex-time during the first
month after their child's birth.
Agreements with health agencies have been renewed, whereby they can
visit all stores nationwide, with the purpose of ensuring the well-being of
our associates through actions such as: testing for hypertension, glucose,
and cholesterol; checking height and weight; vaccines; and family planning.
Continuity was given to agreements that allow our associates to
have access to discounts for labs, gyms, health and welfare services,
entertainment, and schools.
The accident prevention programs that are part of the overall safety measures
are reinforced with a group of experts in safety and hygiene who constantly audit
our units, with the purpose of creating action plans for any opportunities detected.
We then document best practices and communicate them throughout the
organization.
