Saptarshi Prakash — along with other Swiggy employees — still got to enjoy a long weekend While many professionals across the country rued a ‘missed day off’ from work due to the national holiday falling on a weekend.
Leave policy wins praise
People in the comments section were overwhelmingly in favour of such a leave policy. They called it a sign of a company that cares about employee wellbeing. “Hard agree on this! Specially days like independence day, especially in times like these when so many countries are fighting for their autonomy. Giving people time with their families, time to actually enjoy the day being celebrated!
“I have always felt that these small thoughtful policies often mean more in everyday life, than the grand gestures companies tend to talk about,” the IIT Madras-educated executive at Swiggy said. So glad Swiggy has this culture!” another said. Many said that such a policy should be mandatory in all organisations.
