NEW DELHI: Continuing with its pro-employee initiatives, markets regulator Sebi is planning to rope in an agency for providing gym instructors and trainers. In addition, the regulator is also planning to hire a firm to supply flowers and look after floral managements at its office.
Several organisations in recent years have begun providing gymnasium in their offices as such moves are seen as boosting efficiency and productivity of employees, besides helping in lowering stress and increasing well-being of staff members.
The markets watchdog, which has been taking several pro-staff initiatives, now plans to hire agencies that for trainers or instructors to guide the employees about different exercises with the use of equipment and supply flowers at its office.
In two separate notices inviting expression of interest (EoI) from the interested parties, Sebi said the services would be required at the regulator's head office in Mumbai.
Spelling out the eligibility criteria, the regulator said that the agency should have satisfactorily taken up the maintenance of a gymnasium set up of more than 2,000 sq ft and should be currently providing trainers for the gymnasium preferably for central or state government or any PSU during the past five years.
Among others, the agency should have qualified and experienced gym instructors or trainers to guide the users of the equipment and also have the knowledge of high-end gym equipment.
