SRS Advogados ranked "Healthiest Company"

SRS Advogados has been nominated "Healthiest Company" by IMS Health, placing it amongst the top three highest ranking companies in Portugal. The SRS employees involved in the analysis achieved "excellent results" in both the cardiovascular and psychosocial health evaluations.

"This award is a good reflection of our policy to promote a healthy environment for our employees", states Rute Rodrigues, head of Human Resources at SRS Advogados. "We have created within the firm a number of services which help foster a healthier day-to-day life style. For example, we have a fully equipped in-house gymnasium, and employees can take advantage of free exercise classes with a professional instructor twice a week. In addition to providing the gymnasium and exercise classes, we are concerned with ensuring a healthy menu is provided in our cafeteria, as well as providing free medical consultations. In addition to these measures this year, we have integrated Stress Management into our office training programme.

The IMS Health initiative, which took place over the course of 3 months, aimed to analyse companies under different conditions and circumstances in such a way that would encourage healthier lifestyle choices. The ranking was based on a comparison between finalised data pertaining to cardiovascular health (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, weight, BMI and heart rate) and psychosocial health (incidence/prevalence of 20 symptoms such as anxiety, tension, stress, emotional exhaustion and concentration levels). The evaluations were performed by a team of cardiologists and nurses from the Centro Hospitalar e Universitário de Coimbra.
