Toyota Kirloskar Motor has been at the forefront in enabling Covid-19 related measures to safeguard its employees. The 2nd wave of Covid-19 in India is a very challenging situation for everyone. The entire medical infrastructure of the country is overwhelmed by the rising cases. Thus, TKM has come up with a host of new measures to promote its employees’ wellbeing during this pandemic.

To ensure uninterrupted access to all the necessary support, TKM is operating a medical hotline accessible around the clock. Members also get information about specialist doctors and hospitals and opt for ambulance services via this hotline. The company is also operating one-on-one counselling for members who want psychological support.

TKM Extends Covid-19 Support For Its Employees

The Japanese car manufacturer is also providing its employees with a Covid home care kit. This kit includes all medical essentials like basic medicines, oximeter, masks, thermometer, sanitisers and more. Members can also leverage TKM’s home care support which will help in the treatment and conducting Covid-19 related testing.

To ensure peace of mind for the members, TKM has arranged medical insurance of INR 11.50 lakh for the treatment of Covid-19 related ailments.
