Client: Ola

Project by: CoMo® Workshops

Problem Statement: Ola, a leading mobility and transportation company, recognized the importance of employee well-being and sought to enhance it through creative and engaging activities. The company aimed to create a Well-being program that would foster a sense of community, relaxation, and personal growth among its employees. Specifically, Ola wanted to spearhead Art sessions, encouraging employees to practice art and craft as an activity on a weekly basis. Additionally, Ola sought to form an Art group comprising employees who expressed interest in participating in this program. Furthermore, the company desired to elect a mentor among the employees who would eventually lead and organize the Art group's weekly meetings.

• The mentorship role enhanced the leadership skills and job satisfaction of the selected employee.

4. Positive Impact on Creativity:

• The regular practice of art and craft had a tangible impact on employees' creativity, which transcended into their work, resulting in innovative solutions and ideas within the company.

Conclusion:

Ola's initiative to spearhead art sessions as a part of its Well-being program, in collaboration with CoMo® Workshops, has been a resounding success. By nurturing creativity, forming a closely-knit Art group, and electing a mentor, Ola has not only enhanced employee well-being but also fostered a culture of innovation and collaboration within the organization.
