Xavier Institute of Management(XIM Bhubaneswar) was delighted to host an inspiring leadership talk by Ms. Shweta Mohanty, Head of Human Resources at SAP in India. The session offered invaluable insights on "Strategies for Well-Being at Workplace". Shweta Ma'am emphasized the significance of prioritizing mental well-being in the competitive corporate landscape. She introduced "Project Yellow Circle," where 'Yellow' symbolizes life's brighter aspects, promoting positivity and optimism. The 'Circle' represents community, underscoring the importance of collective support and unity in enhancing mental health at the workplace. This project highlights SAP's commitment to fostering an environment that values and nurtures the well-being of its employees. SAP is renowned for its proactive employee-focused culture. It was the pioneer in launching initiatives like 'Autism at Work,' showcasing its commitment to neurodiversity in the workplace. Recognized as a top employer for the LGBTQ+ community, SAP embodies its mission to make the world run better and improve people's lives. This ethos extends beyond customers to its employees and partners, empowering leaders to boost productivity while prioritizing the care of their teams. The importance of mental well-being in the workplace was particularly highlighted during the post-pandemic period, marking a pivotal moment in how mental health issues are perceived and addressed in corporate settings. At SAP, while physical health assessments were routine, there was no equivalent measure for mental health, underscoring the need for initiatives like Project Yellow Circle. Recognizing the significant impact of stress and depression, which results in the loss of approximately 12 billion workdays annually, SAP has integrated technology to prompt employees daily to reflect on their mental state. Mental health should be a routine topic of discussion in the workplace, not stigmatized or seen as a taboo subject. It’s crucial that mental well-being is separated from organizational metrics like employee performance, ensuring that employees feel safe and supported in addressing their mental health without fear of judgment or repercussions. This approach fosters a more inclusive and supportive work environment. We are grateful to Ms. Shweta for her esteemed presence at Conexus 5.0 and for delivering an insightful session on the significance of mental well-being and the transformative role of technology in enhancing it. We also extend our Heartful Gratitude to Ms. Rashmi Raghuraja Ma'am and Mr. Kamal Stephen Sir for their Consistent Support and Guidance that has opened new avenues of Collaboration between SAP India and Xavier Institute of Management(XIM Bhubaneswar). #XIMBhubaneswar #XIMUniversity #LeadershipTalk #Leaders #Leadership #Conexus5.0
