WeWork India Rolls Out Vaccination Drive For Its Employees, Dependents

WeWork India, the flexible workspace provider has kickstarted a vaccination drive for all of its active employees as well as three of its dependents. This is in partnership with multiple leading partners across all 6 cities where WeWork India’s workspaces are located. 

The voluntary COVID-19 vaccination drive is in addition to the existing medical insurance policy of WeWork employees. In the interim, if any employee has managed to secure a slot on the COWIN portal to get themselves or their dependents vaccinated, WeWork India will reimburse the cost of vaccination for them and their dependents. Moreover, if any employee is tested positive for Covid-19 at present or in the future, they can avail ‘Covid Leave’, a new leave category initiated by the company in line with the latest government mandate,  wherein employees can avail leave upto 28 days depending on the need to make a full recovery.  Additionally, WeWork will soon open up this drive for its 40,000 members across India. WeWork will be a facilitator in this extension while the cost of vaccination will be decided by the partners.

Speaking on the initiative Karan Virwani, CEO, WeWork India said “Health and safety of our members and employees is a top priority to us, and we at WeWork are taking all active measures to ensure the physical and mental wellness of our people. As another step towards safeguarding our employees, we have commenced a COVID -19 vaccination drive across India. Our people are our biggest assets, and we’ll continue to look out for them. Our aim is to provide hygienic and safe workplaces coupled with best-in industry people policies catering to physical and mental wellness for all.  The team at WeWork will ensure that the vaccination drive is a convenient and safe process for all.”
