Recently, a couple of companies have modified and implemented various policies some of which have been praised by the employees and few have even faced backlash.
However, companies try to implement a human-centric culture, employees feel supported, they feel encouraged, and motivated at the workplace.
Let’s have a look at the shift in policies by TCS, Meesho & more companies:-
Leave on India Losing of World Cup
Recently, Marketing Moves a firm has provided a one-day leave to employees on the loss of the Indian World Cup.
Recently, an employee Diksha Gupta shared a post on Linkedin and said, “It’s just not a loss it’s 1.4 Billion Heartbreaks. The disheartening day in the history of the World Cup was marked on 19th November 2023, when our Men in Blue couldn’t lift the World Cup Trophy.”
“But here comes a twist! Today morning, I woke up with a message from my boss granting a one-day leave relaxation to everyone due to the impact of this loss. It was a surprise that none of us could believe until the official email arrived”, the post said.
“Well, this one-day relaxation is not just a morale booster, it’s an opportunity to recover from the loss, regain mental stability, and return to work with renewed energy and spirit. Thank you Chirag Alawadhi Boss for such a warm gesture”, the post concluded.
Maternity, Child Care, and Child Adoption Leaves
Lately, Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh has approved a proposal for an extension of the rules for Maternity, Child Care and Child Adoption Leaves for women soldiers, sailors, and air warriors in the Armed Forces at par with their officer counterparts.
These grants of such leaves apply to all women in the military, whether one is an officer or any other rank, will be equally applicable.
Reset and Recharge Break
Meesho, India’s only true e-commerce marketplace, has set a remarkable precedent in employee wellness with the announcement of the third consecutive annual “Reset and Recharge” break.
The employees will enjoy a 9-day hiatus to unplug from work from November 11th to the 19th, 2023 to prioritize their mental well-being.
Recently, the company also revamped its parental policies to provide enhanced support to Meeshoites as they navigate the journey into parenthood.
Sudden Transfer and 5-Day Work Week
Offlate, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) sent sudden transfer notices to its employees after the recently ending Work From Home policy and asked employees to join the assigned location within 15 days.
On this matter, The IT labour union, Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate, took on social platform X (Formally Twitter) and said, “NITES urges @LabourMinistry to protect IT workers from unethical practices such as forced transfers. We demand an investigation and new policies to safeguard employee rights.”
