REST: wellbeing and inclusivity at the core of our work

REST is a program designed to improve the balance between personal life and work, adapting to the needs of each individual and reflecting the core values embodied by the company. 

The program provides the necessary time to recharge, care for loved ones, and focus on personal projects without compromising one’s growth journey within the organization.

The benefits offered not only exceed those envisioned by local law provisions, but also compete with industry standards at an international level. They apply in every country where Growens operates, taking local legislation into account while simultaneously creating a fair and competitive global standard.

The goal is to promote people’s wellbeing, create an engaged and flexible international team, and make Growens a resilient organization, built on a strong and shared foundation of processes, skills, and responsibilities, capable of ensuring full operations regardless of individual circumstances.

Benefits 

Parental leave 

Every parent, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or civil status, is entitled to paid leave that exceeds legal provisions in the event of a birth or adoption, to create stronger bonds with the new addition to the family. 

This leave is guaranteed both before the new family member joins the household and during the first period after birth or adoption. 

Growens aims to provide parents with everything they need to fully enjoy the moments that truly matter. In this way, every family can grow united and establish strong and lasting bonds from the very beginning.

Caregiving & Medical Leave 

The organization supports its people during difficult times by offering additional paid leave beyond what is required by law, in cases of personal illness or illness of loved ones (regardless of any formal family relationship).

This allows everyone to take the time they need for personal medical appointments or therapies, and to stay close to their loved ones without sacrificing their own job.

Sabbatical leave 

Growens offers paid sabbatical leave to promote personal growth, improve wellbeing, and support work-life balance.

Whether it’s traveling, learning to play a new musical instrument, or dedicating time to a long-held personal project, changing perspective for a while can be the perfect way to recharge and return to work with renewed energy and motivation.

Bereavement leave 

In difficult times, such as the loss of a loved one (regardless of any formal family relationship), everyone is entitled to request additional days of paid bereavement leave beyond what is mandated by law, process grief and support one’s loved ones.

Volunteering leave 

Growens recognizes the importance of dedicating time to the wellbeing of the community to make a difference. This is why it offers paid leave for volunteering activities.

This support is designed to help people participate in initiatives that not only enrich their personal lives, but also strengthen the bond with the community where they live.

What is resilience in a company and why is it important? 

Being a resilient organization is extremely important for any business. A “resilient organization” refers to the ability to react and adapt to sudden changes, whether internal or external, in a way that allows the company to continue operating effectively while finding new opportunities, even during periods of uncertainty. 

For a rapidly growing company, resilience is crucial. Being resilient means not only facing challenges with determination but also adapting and feeling comfortable in a constantly changing environment. This makes it increasingly essential to invest intentionally in corporate culture.

This investment includes, among other things, the continuous improvement of work practices, making processes clearer and more documented, and promoting transparency and collaboration. Alongside this, a concrete commitment to employee wellbeing is vital: initiatives like Growens REST support their mental and physical health, helping them balance work and personal life.

Being a resilient company also means showing flexibility in managing responsibilities, taking on a colleague’s tasks in their absence, and adapting to the team’s needs. This approach ensures that the organization continues to function smoothly even in unforeseen situations, creating a solid and cohesive work environment capable of successfully facing and overcoming future challenges.

Wrap up 

Growens recognizes that success is closely linked to its people’ satisfaction and wellbeing.

With the REST program, it takes a step further towards a more inclusive, sustainable, and resilient future, where everyone can feel valued, supported, and part of an ever-evolving organization.
