Celebration

On the occasion of World Health Week on 5th April, IRIS-Corp members attended an awareness session organized by American Heart Association - Family and Friends CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) - an emergency procedure that combines chest compressions often with artificial ventilation in an effort to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person who is in cardiac arrest.

CPR is one of the most effective procedures to help save someone who has suffered cardiac arrest.

Many of us are either not aware or well-versed with First Aid measures that must be provided to in case of cardiac arrest. This training session explained the procedure in detail. It not only gave guidelines for what must be done in such a situation but also the order in which it must be done.

As families around the world began to stay at home and staying inside, an online trend emerged. All the employees of IRIS-Corp marked the International Yoga Day on 21st June 2020 as they joined virtually through video conferencing platform.

On September 20th, 2024, Iris-Corporate successfully conducted a Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Awareness Campaign, reinforcing our commitment to a safe and respectful workplace. The initiative aimed to educate employees about their rights and responsibilities under the POSH Act, ensuring a harassment-free environment.

Training was conducted by an external trainer who is an expert in the subject matter and covered both new and existing employees. The purpose was to enhance information, awareness, and compliance. The training was highly interactive, featuring role plays and scenarios to demonstrate how to respond in various situations.

Through engaging workshops and interactive sessions, team members learned to recognize inappropriate behaviour and understand the proper reporting mechanisms. The campaign emphasized creating a culture of support, empowering everyone to speak up without fear of retaliation.

Informative posters and materials were displayed throughout the office to keep the conversation ongoing. A dedicated POSH committee was also established to address concerns and facilitate discussions.

By promoting awareness and encouraging open dialogue, the POSH Awareness Campaign at Iris-Corporate not only protected individuals but also strengthened team dynamics, contributing to a healthier and more productive workplace for all.
