TRANSCEND: Your Ultimate Fitness Journey Awaits!

In June 2023, we launched the Transcend Program under our Physical Wellness pillar of LTIMindtree with 44 associates and four leaders. "Transcend" means to go beyond and rise above a limitation or challenge, which is precisely what this program aimed to achieve.

We partnered with a fitness expert, OMFIT, to design this program based on three pillars:

• Simplicity

• Consistency

• Independence

After analyzing the participants' blood reports and family histories, doctors and nutrition coaches at OMFIT designed personalized nutrition plans. This customized approach improved some participants' important blood parameters, such as lipid profiles, HbA1c, and hemoglobin.

Transcend's focus on effort rather than outcome sets it apart from other programs. Every individual is different, so results can vary. One person may lose 3 kilograms weekly, while another may gain the required muscle mass.

Building consistency among the participants was our primary focus, which helped them adopt a healthy lifestyle.

Due to the overwhelming response to the first batch, a second batch was formed with 89 participants and four leaders. Live exercise sessions were introduced in this batch to teach the proper form and technique of exercise. Some of their achievements are as follows:

• Total Steps - 18.89 Million

• Total Kilometres - 14,394 Kilometres

• Travelled 36% around the world

• Healthy Meals Consumed >4000

• Total Weight Loss - 94.9 kgs
   

Many participants have reported positive changes in their medical conditions and are now leading healthier lifestyles. One story moved us deeply. During her time with Transcend and OMFIT, a participant's dream of donating blood became a reality. Previously, she had been unable to donate due to consistently low blood sugar levels. However, her improved blood sugar levels made her eligible to donate blood, showcasing the power of lifestyle improvements. Building good habits is crucial for changing one's lifestyle.

Let's explore something interesting about the word "habit."

From the word "habit":
If you remove the letter "h,"
"a bit" remains.
Remove "a,"
"bit" remains.
Remove "b,"
Still, "it" remains.

So, you see, habits are long-lasting, and that's what makes Transcend sustainable.

The outcomes of this program have been remarkable. A few testimonials are given below:

Dhananjay Amin - "The Transcend program is well-curated. It enabled us participants to adapt to an overall healthy lifestyle, from tracking our water intake and steps to tracking our diet, exercise, and sleep. The weekly meetings and monthly one-on-one calls were very informative and a great platform for getting queries resolved. It has left a lasting impression on me to continue the journey by forming healthy habits. Thank you to the HR team of LTIMindtree for this wonderful initiative."

Girish Jamdar - "Thank you to the LTIMindtree Wellness team for the Transcend program. I have lost 11 kg, and my body measurements have been reduced by 3–4 inches. I have become more active and look younger. Transcend is not just a health crash course but a healthier lifestyle. I request more such wonderful programs to transform all of us at LTIMindtree."

Hiren Parikh - "In my career of 15 years in IT, I have come across multiple organizations that provide health cover for employees and their families. For the first time, I have seen an organization going out of its way to show concern for employees' health and resolve health issues by providing long-term resolutions. I want to thank the LTIMindtree Wellness team for this wonderful healthy initiative."
