The company will work on having a completely automated process to ensure maximum productivity in the stipulated time. This will also ensure that the employees do not reach out to colleagues outside the work hours letting everyone have the complete detox time.

The company is also going to reimagine its global work days’ policy to fit the “Future of Work” and have various added benefits that extend outside the office. These include offering experts in every field to the employees helping them ease their load, Off-sites, and global relocation benefit to name a few.

Earlier this year, unicorns OYO and Swiggy also announced their move towards a 4-day work week for a limited period of time. These initiatives came in after the government released its new labour codes in February 2021. The new labour codes proposed an option for organisations to allow their employees to work for four days or 48 hours a week.

Union Labour Secretary Apurva Chandra said that organisations would have three choices — deploying employees for four days at 12 hours per day, five days at around 10 hours per day, and six days at eight hours per day.
