Ola Completes Vaccination For Over 50% Of Its Employees And Their Dependents

Ola India has announced that it has successfully ompletes vaccination for over 50% of its employees and their dependents.

The company completed vaccination of those above 45 years of age in April and the drive to vaccinate the rest began early last week, after the government opened up vaccination for all 18+ age groups in May.

The drive is live in Bangalore where the majority of Ola’s employees are and will expand to other cities in the coming weeks as vaccine supplies improve. To provide a seamless and safe vaccination experience, Ola has partnered with leading hospitals and has set up the vaccination camp within the Ola Campus. This helps people avoid unnecessary exposure in hospital visits and also makes it super convenient as there is minimal wait time.

Ola chief human resources officer (CHRO) Rohit Munjal said, "Health and safety of our people is paramount and at Ola, we have been focused on taking a comprehensive view and providing meaningful support so our people and their loved ones can stay healthy and safe whether they are at work or at home. Our efforts encompass not just employees but our broader community including contractors, advisors, consultants as well as drivers and consumers. Vaccination is an important step in our fight against the pandemic and we aim to vaccinate all our people over the coming weeks."

In March, Ola had committed that it would provide free vaccination to all of its employees and their dependents as well as its contractors, consultants, advisors and their immediate dependents.

Moreover, Ola also provides reimbursement of any expense related to covid treatment including medical tests, medicines and equipment being bought by employees upto Rs 30,000. Additionally, the company also extends additional financial assistance to employees according to their needs,
