Hey Varsha- we can connect

Hi Varsha, we have built a provision for it under the umbrella of Wellness Leaves. In a year, an employee can take upto 16 such leaves which could include situations such as period, mental fatigue, unwell, rejuvenation break or simply a day of rest or two, etc

@Kenneth W Wheeler is this in addition to the usual casual / sick leaves / long term illness?

I thought your follow up question would be - when do employees work 🙂
a
Ha ha not at all. In my limited observance of this, I've generally seen that companies with thoughtful leave policies seem to have minimal utilisation of it as well.
Would that be a fair observation?

To your point but putting it slightly differently, the way I have seen it happen - when you put an element of trust and flexibility empowerment in your employees - their mindset is mostly to exercise their rights/benefits judiciously. So yes, we do not observe undue or over utilisation unless it is a genuine cause. To welcome an angle of D&I, we also have 18 bank holidays with an intent to cover every major as well as minor celebrations in our larger employee spectrum

I guess, it ties back to an Organisations thinking and philosophy…which ultimately blends into your culture and core values

I hope I am making sense 🙂

Absolutely, and like you rightfully said, exactly for those reasons. Kudos!
