iPlace Launches Spectacular Employee Benefits to Combat COVID
Before the pandemic, were you ever so aware of your health and safety? People’s lifestyles around the globe have undergone a radical overhaul in the last 18 months – all to stay healthy!
With 600+ employees, iPlace is one of the largest recruiting companies serving 100+ clients worldwide. Our employees’ wellbeing has always been paramount. Even before the pandemic we provided several uncommon for India health and wellness benefits including free annual health check-ups, gym membership, and an in-house spa. In response to COVID-19, iPlace stepped up its healthcare programs to include special benefits for its employees and families.
COVID Vaccination Tracker and Bonus LaunchPad Stars
To encourage vaccine literacy and confidence, we created a dashboard tracking each iPlace employee’s vaccine shots. When an employee gets fully vaccinated, s/he earns 12 bonus stars through our LaunchPad gamification program (employees earn an automatic pay raise for every 40 stars and a promotion for every 120 stars).
Yammer Channel for COVID Updates
A dedicated Yammer (our internal social media platform) channel posts critical COVID updates on health and safety, lockdowns, and vaccinations with step-by-step instructions and tips on how to register to get vaccinated at health centers.

Company-paid vaccination drives were administered through Columbia Asia Hospital, Pune for employees, ex-employees, and families.
