LEAVES
With the rapid ascent of
workplace fl exibility, employers
are now focusing on supporting
and addressing the questions
of leaves. The Holiday
Exchange Program at Kantar’s
GDC is a unique initiative
where employees are given an
opportunity to exchange their
Indian Holiday with any other
day of the year, thus giving
them the fl exibility to choose,
depending on their personal
needs. The exchanged day gets
added to the total pot of leaves
which can be used anytime
within the year. The initiative
aims to provide complete
freedom and fl exibility,
enabling them to achieve their
work-life balance.
Our Research on India’s
Best Companies reveals that
86 percent of the working
professionals in India take
pride in their organisation,
partly owing to the
organisation’s contribution
to society. At Cadence Design
Systems, employees have
access to a dedicated Volunteer
Connection Portal called
‘E-Cadence Cares’. The portal
highlights local volunteer
opportunities and enables
employees to form teams to
volunteer together. It also
spotlights the inspiring work
that employees have done
around the globe. By tracking
volunteer hours and receiving
rewards upon reaching service
milestones, employees are
inspired and motivated to
contribute towards a social
cause.
As most retail organisations
have highly dispersed
nature of operations, they
often face challenges while
communicating with staff
members. Shoppers Stop Ltd.
has introduced an Internal
Radio Service branded as
‘SSL Radio 91’ which aims
at eliminating gaps in
communication. Through this
medium, they are effectively
able to reach all associates
in stores and is one of the
simplest ways of keeping them
informed and inspired. They
broadcast messages on diverse
subjects such as organisational
values, store operations, self-
development, and key messages
from senior management.
