NEW DELHI: Heading into 2021, Myntra has enhanced certain privileges on leaves to enable its workforce to enjoy the best of both, work and personal life. The move will enable employees to avail themselves of unlimited wellness leaves and an additional host of other leave options.
The enhancement comes in the form of a renewed employee leave structure, designed to correspond strongly with the organisation’s people culture, which is based on care and empathy. It encompasses the physical and mental wellbeing of employees, by improving work-life balance, ultimately improving their quality of life.
All Myntra employees are now entitled to unlimited wellness leaves, that can be availed if one is under the weather. Believing in being empathetic to the family needs of its employees, the fashion etailer has also introduced 14 days of care leaves that employees can avail to take care of young children and older parents when they fall sick or need assistance.
In addition to this, wedding leaves now allow for five days off, including for those solemnised outside the country, same-sex partner marriages, and civil unions. Finally, vacation days provide employees with an opportunity to avail themselves 24 days leave, to care for family members in need and to travel and spend quality time with them.
Myntra CEO Amar Nagaram said, “At Myntra, care and empathy are the guiding principles that shape our people's practices and policies. Our culture is a true reflection of the dedication and commitment of our employees. It has been our constant endeavour to extend optimal support for the well-being of employees in a holistic way. This step will be yet another pillar of strength, enhancing the scope for employees to take care of their priorities at work and beyond while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.”
The rest of the existing leaves, including parental (maternity and paternity), adoption leaves which are applicable for even LGBT couples, surrogacy leave, gender reassignment surgery leave, pet adoption leave (pawternity), sabbatical, and others, will continue as per the Myntra’s existing leave policy structure.
