Amara Raja Group Launches Health Screening Web App For Entire Workforce

Amara Raja Group has announced that it has launched a web app and has facilitated employee digital platforms for their entire workforce of 16000 people during this period of COVID-19. The web app offers an online screening tool, provides information about the disease caused by coronavirus and list guidelines from the Centre for Disease Control (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO) and Ministry of Health GOI guidelines, where an employee can understand their risk of contracting COVID-19.

The web app ‘Amara Raja People Safety Management System’ (ARPSMS) is developed in collaboration with Doxiva. ARPSMS enables the company’s employees and their family members to use COVID-19 self-screening assessment tools to understand their risk for contracting the disease. The app features Individual employee dashboards that help one to monitor the test results and also offers downloadable summaries of their self-screening assessments.

All Amara Raja employees are required to fill in a series of questions related to testing for COVID-19 signs & symptoms and exposure history daily, basis which the app will automatically issue a temporary e-work pass. A detailed user guide has also been provided to all employees with QR codes for easy understanding of the process.

In collaboration with PeopleStrong, consequent to the COVID-19 situation and lockdown Amara Raja Group has extended to its entire workforce of 16000 employees their employee digital platform titled ‘WE@AR’. Using geotagging, the organization will be able to understand the employee’s location, and the location data collected can be used to make help available immediately in case of any emergency. In addition, this system also integrates a collaboration platform called Zippi, through which, constant two-way communication can be maintained with all employees.

"For Amara Raja Group, people wellness, wellbeing and safety has always been of utmost priority. The newly launched Amara Raja People Safety Management System and the extension of employee digital platform, ‘WE@AR’, across all our employees instills a higher level of confidence to them and their families to stay healthy amidst these trying times.  As a responsible Corporate, we will continue to take all health and safety measures for our people on high priority", said G Vijaya Naidu, President - Group CI, Quality & HSE, Amara Raja Group.
