Designed to accommodate team members\u2019 individual needs and circumstances, the WFA program will support work\/life balance, improving productivity, motivation and job satisfaction.\r\n\r\n\u201cOur Work from Anywhere framework empowers our team members to choose a working arrangement that suits them,\u201d continued Shawn Williams. \u00a0\u201cWe recognize that there\u2019s no one-size-fits-all way of working and giving people the choice to shape their own will help them do their best work, feel valued and stay focused. \u00a0And, while the human interaction of working in an office is important, we\u2019ve all seen the power of technology this year in helping us stay connected and keep business moving from afar.\u201d\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<strong>Employee wellness<\/strong>\r\n\r\nSabre has transformed its approach to employee wellness, investing in a host of new resources to enhance the team member experience. To drive this,\u00a0the Company has created the\u00a0Sabre Wellbeing Advisor Group (SWAG), a council\u00a0of a dozen team members from around the world who will guide conversation around wellbeing, capture best practices and enhance tools and programs to support employee wellbeing.\r\n\r\nOne of the first initiatives introduced by the council is a partnership with\u00a0Headspace, a global leader in mindfulness and wellbeing, to provide free, premium access to their award-winning mindfulness app.\r\n\r\n\u201cThrough the Headspace partnership, we hope to encourage team members to take time out for themselves every day and enjoy the benefits of increased productivity and improved stress resilience and creativity that come from consistent meditation and mindfulness exercises,\u201d said Williams.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<strong>Volunteerism<\/strong>\r\n\r\nRecognizing the importance of volunteering, Sabre has a \u2018Give Together\u2019 program, which enables all team members to take four days of paid time off per year to volunteer for any purpose they choose.\r\n\r\nTo further expand \u2018Give Together\u2019, Sabre recently partnered with\u00a0Benevity\u00a0– the\u00a0global leader in workplace giving, volunteering and grant making programs – in order to help team members, find the volunteer opportunities that mean the most to them. Through Benevity, Sabre also highlights STEM opportunities, with a view to helping to create critical thinkers and enable the next generation of innovators.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<strong>Career development<\/strong>\r\n\r\nSabre is also rolling out a global mentoring initiative to help team members to develop technical and leadership skills in areas they believe they need support.\r\n\r\nSabre wants to give its team members the tools and resources to drive their own careers. As such, the mentoring program is one of several programs that the Company has introduced to help team members grow and develop, and to align their personal goals with business goals. Other initiatives include a leader speaker series, skill-building series and peer coaching series where leaders coach and support each other.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<strong>Inclusion and diversity<\/strong>\r\n\r\nUnderpinning the programs above is Sabre\u2019s commitment to fostering an inclusive environment, where team members \u2013 with their wide and rich variety of differences \u2013 can bring their full selves to work, contribute their best and feel like they belong. As a global employer with offices in 70 countries, Sabre has made a deliberate and intentional commitment to Inclusion and Diversity (I&D). The Company\u2019s I&D Council, which is made up of representatives across regions from all areas of the business and across multiple demographics, is defining a globally consistent\u00a0approach to Inclusion and Diversity as a business imperative,\u00a0helping Sabre embrace the talents of every team member across the globe enabling an inclusive and stimulating environment where all have equal opportunity to do their best.\r\n\r\nOur ambition\u00a0to be a great place to work\u00a0and\u00a0an employer of choice\u00a0has always been a\u00a0priority. These initiatives have resulted in the Sabre Bengaluru Global Capability Center getting certified\u00a0by the\u00a0Great Place to Work\u00ae Institute as an organization\u00a0that builds a\u00a0High-Trust, High-Performance Culture™.\r\n\r\n\u201cWith the pandemic creating an imbalance in work and life priorities, strengthening our team members\u2019 purpose and pride in contributions they make for our community, customers and organization helps create a sense of belonging. From inclusive conversation guides to fostering communities of practices such as Women in Technology, we enrich each other through the diversity of thought, perspective and experience\u201d, said Jaya Kumar K, VP & Managing Director, Sabre Global Capability Center, Bengaluru – India\r\n\r\n<strong>Media Contacts:<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAnuroopa.Pereira@sabre.com\r\n\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tech company introduces new programs and benefits to support team members<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","categories":[15],"tags":[],"searchby":[],"metadata":{"_edit_lock":["1649931830:51"],"_edit_last":["51"]},"featured_image":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sabre.com\/locations\/india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/releases\/2329"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sabre.com\/locations\/india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/releases"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sabre.com\/locations\/india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/releases"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.sabre.com\/locations\/india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/releases\/2329\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2330,"href":"https:\/\/www.sabre.com\/locations\/india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/releases\/2329\/revisions\/2330"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sabre.com\/locations\/india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2329"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sabre.com\/locations\/india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2329"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sabre.com\/locations\/india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2329"},{"taxonomy":"searchby","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sabre.com\/locations\/india\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/searchby?post=2329"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
