- A sensitive, human-centric campaign encouraging employees to notice the unspoken signs of anxiousness and stress at workplace
- Launched mental health day film on #WeHearTheQuiet
- Creative activations like health tracker sheets, online counselling sessions and sound therapy tools to normalize wellness dialogue
Udaipur, Rajasthan, India October, 2025: On the occasion of #WorldMentalHealthDay, Hindustan Zinc (NSE: HINDZINC), the world’s largest and India’s only integrated producer of zinc and silver has introduced its internal wellness campaign, #WeHearTheQuiet. This thoughtful initiative is designed to encourage open dialogue, emotional support, and greater psychological safety in the workplace. Reaching out to more than 3500 employees, the campaign reaffirms the company’s strong commitment to making mental well-being a vital part of employee safety and professional growth. In today’s fast-paced environment, Hindustan Zinc emphasizes the importance of pausing, listening, and building a culture where even the most subtle signs of struggle are acknowledged and addressed with care
In the lead-up to World Mental Health Day, Hindustan Zinc rolled out a three-day digital teaser series across its social media platforms, featuring short clips designed to help viewers pause, reflect, and empathize with subtle signs of emotional struggle. These powerful moments set the stage for the main film launched on October 10, which beautifully captures the message – “When we notice the silence and act, no one carries their struggles alone.” #WeHearTheQuiet draws from the insight that while workplaces are abuzz with activity, silence often hides unseen challenges – a tapping foot, a faint sigh, an “I’m fine” that isn’t. Through this campaign, the company aims to keep the conversation alive throughout the month of October, encouraging employees, partners, and communities to tune into mental health, speak openly, and support one another with empathy and awareness.
In alignment with the International Council on Mining & Metals (ICMM)’s performance expectations, Hindustan Zinc continues to make solid strides to safeguard both psychological & physical health of its employees. The company has also introduced a series of immersive initiatives including health tracker charts to promote self-kindness, healing sound bowls as wellness aids, and online counsellor sessions offering confidential support to employees. A digital detox hour will also be set up, offering a quiet time for rejuvenation through walk, talk and freshly brewed coffee – symbolic of pausing to care.
Speaking about the initiative, Mr. Arun Misra, CEO, Hindustan Zinc, said, “At Hindustan Zinc, safety has always been our priority – not just physical, but emotional and psychological as well. The #WeHearTheQuiet campaign is an embodiment of our belief that true strength lies in empathy. It is a reminder to pause and listen, not just to others but also to ourselves. Through this campaign, we aim to ensure that every employee feels seen, supported, and safe to speak up. At Hindustan Zinc, our people-first policies and sustainable business vision are rooted in care, inclusion and holistic wellbeing.”
Over the past three years, Hindustan Zinc has continuously strengthened its employee wellness ecosystem through initiatives such as Employee Assistance Programs (EAP), wellness leave, Parenthood & Adoption Policies, Flexible working hours & No Question Asked leaves and inclusive engagement platforms that prioritize mental, emotional, and physical health. The company’s consistent efforts towards building a happy, equitable, and purpose-driven workplace have earned it global recognitions including the Great Place to Work® certification and it continues to lead with empathy-driven leadership that nurtures its people as its greatest asset.
By choosing to “#HeartheQuiet,” Hindustan Zinc continues to strengthen its vision of a workplace that values every voice- even the silent ones – fostering a safe, compassionate, and inclusive environment for all.
