107 GRI Index and Assurance statement Engaged citizen Fair partner Responsible banker Human Capacity Report Sustainability management Overview Foreword Raiffeisen Bank S.A. in Romania has offered a program with a variety of measures for a healthy work environment throughout the organization under the name “RStyle – A Balanced Lifestyle” since 2013. The bank was given the “Corporate Social Responsibility Romanian Award“ in the “Supporting the employees“ category for this program. The extremely com- prehensive program is aimed at all employees and is based on three main pillars: physical health, mental-emotional balance and healthy interpersonal relationships. It presents the employees a set of measures that provide solutions for guiding them to a healthy lifestyle and improving the quality of life and performance at work. The program is intended to foster self-awareness and emotional equilibrium for a good balance between work and family life. In 2016 in total, approx. 2,600 bank employees, which is approximately half of the bank’s workforce, took advantage of the RStyle offers at almost 112 events. The RStyle program includes many offers which are tailored to the organization and its employees, from sports, nutrition and group recreational activities to education and family or development topics. For instance, a project on stress management was developed within the scope of RStyle which comprises advice and methods of stress prevention. A total of 108 employees participated in this program, which was based on a diagnosis of personal habits and stress factors. Supporting workshops and personal consultations were held in parallel to help transform existing habits into “healthy” habits. In order to assist personal well-being, the RStyle program provides a broad range of offers for active employee participation, such as workshops in classical music or theater, visits to art exhibits or outdoor activities. Irina Kubinschi, Executive Director Human Resources, Raiffeisen Bank S.A. “‘Health is not everything, but without health, everything is nothing.’ (Schopenhauer). This is not a simple adage. As a company, we acted to help improve the lifestyles of our employees. Our objective was to encourage humor and good health in the workplace as well as a positive team environment and a balance between work and private life. In order to meet our target, we launched an extensive program: RStyle – ‘Live a balanced life’ – with the main pillars of physical health, mentalemotional balance and healthy interpersonal relationships. The key aspects aimed at promoting good health were identified in an internal study: RSport, RNutrition, RParenting, DevelopmentR, TravelR and TogetherR. A dashboard of facts and figures collected by us is available and serves as a GPS. Obviously, a project of this type cannot completely eliminate the imbalance in the lives of thousands of people – that would be unrealistic. Nevertheless, we have managed to ensure that more attention is paid to the aspects that have a positive effect on people’s health. On this basis, all employees can independently access their own personalized offer, tailored and suited to enhance the sense of balance in their lives.” QUOTE Rstyle, © Raiffeisen Bank S.A.
