Be healthy, live healthy, work healthy

The key to a good life is inter-twining these three facets – be healthy, live healthy, work healthy. To encourage our associates to reach that balance, the team at The Westin Mumbai Garden City participated in a brand lead Associate Enrichment program. It is designed to bring the brand mission to life by extending the benefits from our guest experience programs to our associates, inspiring them to make healthy choices.  The program is intended to be ongoing in order to drive a shift in property culture, one that emphasizes on associate and guest well being on property. The three initiatives within this program include SuperFoods, WestinWORKOUT and Purify.

WestinWORKOUT - The most recent initiative in this program to kick start the new year was conducted on 3^rd January 2012 with a ‘Run Westin & Yoga’ session. Our enthusiastic associates came into work early at 7am to jumpstart their day with a run and stretching exercises. The remaining associates were welcomed to work in style with a refreshing snack to start their day and invited to write their new year’s resolutions on the ‘wall of fame’. A guided yoga session was conducted by a qualified instructor where associates participated in a session of back exercises, breathing and meditation. The session was a refreshing break and associates look forward to many more rejuvenating sessions.

Superfoods – The afternoon meal consisted of a nutritious spread, incorporating Superfoods items. These items are health enhancing and rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients. They contain an exceptionally high nutrient content when compared to the amount of calories per serving. These delectable treats were thoroughly enjoyed by our associates.

Purify - Air humidifiers and detoxification plants have been placed in Heart of House (HOH) areas to ensure the air is clean and pure. Additionally, scent machines and diffusers have been placed in HOH for fresh smelling air. Initiatives such as ‘no smoking day’ and ‘no waste’ were included as part of an on-going drive to inspire associates to make smart choices and be at their best.

Our Associate Enrichment Property Champion Mr Surajit Chatterjee (aka “Well Ambassador”) believes “our Associate Enrichment Program extends our guest experience to our associates for a better tomorrow.”
