March 19th, 2025: Terumo India Private Limited, the Indian subsidiary of global medical technology leader Terumo Corporation (TSE: 4543), is marking DE&I week by expanding its commitment to workplace caregivers through #TerumoCares. This effort reinforces Terumo India's dedication to fostering a work environment where associates can integrate their professional and personal lives while managing caregiving responsibilities.
A caregiver is defined as "an eligible family member (spouse, domestic partner, children, parents, parents-in-law) who depends on them for care and support." Recognizing the unique challenges caregivers face, #TerumoCares provides holistic support through three areas: Elder & Partner Care, Child & Pet Care, and Self-Care. For those caring for aging or dependent parents or in-laws, or partners, #TerumoCares offers caregiver leave, bereavement leave, elder care assistance, and counseling sessions to help navigate different aspects of caregiving.
Terumo India is also fostering a structured support system through 'Caregiver Networks' and 'Care Allies' peer communities designed to encourage open conversations and provide additional support to associates navigating caregiving responsibilities.
Speaking on the initiative, Shishir Agarwal, President & Managing Director, Terumo India Private Limited said, "At Terumo, Care is one of our core values. As healthcare providers, caring for patients and society comes naturally to us, but caring for ourselves and our families often takes a backseat. We recognize that caregiving responsibilities can make it challenging to integrate work and personal life. With #TerumoCares, we are taking a step towards ensuring that caregivers in our workforce feel valued and empowered."
Ritu Anand, Vice President, Human Resources and Corporate Communications, Terumo India Private Limited, added, "We believe that strong, inclusive policies are the foundation of a truly diverse and supportive workplace. Yet, caregiving remains an overlooked aspect. With #TerumoCares, we are integrating caregiving support into our inclusive culture, ensuring our associates can pursue their professional growth without compromising on their personal responsibilities. Our people commitment of 'Advancing Healthcare with Heart', is further strengthened with #TerumoCares which truly reflect the needs of our associates."
#TerumoCares focus on three key areas:
- Elder & Partner Care – Supporting those caring for aging parents, spouses, or partners
- Child & Pet Care – Providing resources for working parents and pet caregivers
- Self-Care – Because caregivers, too, need care, and their well-being matters just as much
