Like many other corporates, Piaggio Vehicles (PVPL) has also taken several measures to provide security to its employees amidst these challenging times. Not only has the Company completed the vaccination drive for its staff and their dependents aged above 18, it has also vaccinated all those above 45, including contract staff. In case any employee loses his/her life to COVID, PVPL will pay one lakh a year towards education of the deceased employee’s children (maximum two) until they graduate. The family will also be covered under the mediclaim insurance policy for up to five years.

All employees have been insured under the COVID Term life Insurance for a sum of Rs 20 lakh to provide relief to the immediate family in case of death of the employee due to Covid

The 100 per cent subsidiary of the Italian Piaggio Group, has introduced an app through which employees can access healthcare-related services, such as consultation, e-pharmacy, lab tests, health check-ups and telemedicines.
