KUALA LUMPUR – Forest Interactive offers corporate perks for talents’ fruit purchase in Malaysia and Indonesia to promote the consumption of healthier foods, in conjunction with International Fruit Day on July 1, 2021.
From July 8 to 30, 2021, talents residing in Malaysia and Indonesia are encouraged to get themselves a fruit-based meal or beverage. This campaign is a part of the company’s ongoing #WellnessThursday program since April 2021, which aims to foster a working environment that empowers talents to make healthier lifestyle choices.
“At Forest Interactive, we have always believed in addressing talents’ needs through our employee wellness program, especially during difficult times,” said Armina Mispar, Head of People Operations. “Hopefully, this program will motivate our talents to pay more attention to their well-being by adopting healthier eating habits, as this will have a significant impact on one’s lifestyle.”
The coverage can be done through a pay-and-claim basis where talents will first purchase fruit-based meals of their choice, then claim via the company’s cloud-based HR management portal.
Allocations are MYR 13 for Malaysia-based talents and IDR 35,000 for talents in Indonesia. Some of the options suggested by People Operations include fresh fruits, fruit salads, fruit smoothies, and frozen yoghurt with fruit toppings.
“Fruits are an essential part of our diet as consistent and adequate fruit intake will reduce the chances of chronic diseases,” added Armina. “In addition, the Chartered Management Institute discovered a scientific link between consumption of fruits and productivity at work; adults who consume more fruits tend to have an increase in creativity and higher engagement at work.”
While this International Fruit Day initiative is part of an effort to inspire talents to make healthier dietary choices that enhance cognitive performance and increase morale, the employee #WellnessThursday program will continue to bear fruit in the next few months.
Recently, Forest Interactive also introduced mental health coverage for talents in Malaysia and Indonesia, to support and encourage them to seek professional help for their mental wellness as part of the employee wellness program.
