    Shemaroo Entertainment’s Shiza Ansari reveals her formulae to hit a six with employee engagement initiatives for T20 World Cup

    Mumbai: It’s said that “A happy workplace is what excites employees to come to work. At Shemaroo Entertainment, we believe that our employees are at the heart of our organization. We understand the importance of keeping them happy, safe, satisfied, and heard. As a leading entertainment brand with people at its core, we are committed to going beyond monetary benefits and creating a work environment where our employees feel valued and appreciated.

    India’s love for cricket is unparalleled, especially during the T20 World Cup. The excitement and fervor for the game are palpable, with everyone eager to catch the matches and cheer for their favorite teams. However, we understand that work commitments can sometimes get in the way of enjoying these moments. We have come up with engaging initiatives to ensure that our employees can still experience the thrill of the T20 World Cup without missing out on their responsibilities.

    To bring the spirit of the T20 World Cup into our workplace, we’ve decorated all our floors with vibrant T20 World Cup-themed festoons. The colorful decorations not only create a festive atmosphere but also serve as a constant reminder of the excitement surrounding the tournament.

    But why stop at just decorations? We’ve also set up a mini cricket pitch in the office, allowing our employees to indulge in some friendly matches. Whether they’re batting, bowling, or fielding, our employees can channel their inner cricketers and bond over their shared love for the game.

    In addition to these activities, we’ve also organized a series of interactive contests to keep the excitement alive. Before every match, our team members get to predict the outcome of the match. This not only adds an element of fun but also encourages friendly competition among colleagues.

    And for those who consider themselves cricket aficionados, we’ve arranged a thrilling cricket quiz competition. From trivia about the T20 World Cup’s history to interesting facts about players and teams, these quizzes promise to test the knowledge of even the most die-hard fans.

    Of course, no competition is complete without exciting prizes, and we’ve got plenty in store for our winners. From exclusive T20 World Cup merchandise to other exciting rewards, there’s something for everyone to look forward to.

    At Shemaroo Entertainment, we believe that fostering a fun and engaging work environment is essential for employee satisfaction and productivity. Through our T20 World Cup initiatives, we aim to create memorable experiences for our employees while strengthening bonds and building camaraderie. After all, our happy and motivated employees are one of our best-kept secret recipes for success.

From our very inception, we’ve held the firm belief that diversity strengthens us, and women have been an integral part of our journey. We’ve always honoured and recognized their power, understanding that their contributions are essential to our success. As we celebrate International Women’s Day, we reaffirm our commitment to fostering an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.”

    Elaborating upon the initiatives Shemaroo Entertainment Ltd COO Arghya Chakravarty. said, “With the launch of our ‘Confluence’ initiative, we embrace the power of diversity, equity, and inclusion to drive meaningful change. Our commitment is not just about celebrating women today; it’s about fostering a culture where everyone, regardless of gender or background, feels equally empowered to contribute to our collective success.”

    Human Resources head Shiza Ansari added, “Our ‘Confluence’ initiative has been vital in promoting inclusion at Shemaroo. It has sparked conversations about diversity and inclusion, encouraging everyone to share their stories and perspectives. By embracing diversity, we’re making sure that every voice matters and every person is included. We are looking forward to a future where equity and inclusion are even stronger.”

    Aligning seamlessly with the International Women’s Day 2024 theme – “Inspire Inclusion,” Shemaroo transcends gender boundaries, extending its DEI initiatives to embrace all diverse groups. By promoting dialogues on the challenges men encounter in the workplace, Shemaroo champions a holistic approach to inclusion, ensuring every voice resonates in the corporate landscape.
