Shri Shailendra Singh, Chief General Manager – HR & Marketing at Bank of Baroda, emphasised the importance of the initiative, stating, "We were pioneers in introducing the Employee Assistance Program in 2020 during the pandemic. Now, with the enhanced program designed by Truworth Wellness, we are investing in the overall health of our employees and their families.
