Mahindra & Mahindra, a big company, is doing something important in the private business world.
They made a new rule for women who work there. This rule lasts for five years and has a plan to help women with their work and family life.
It also says that they must take time off for holidays. All women who work with Mahindra & Mahindra can use this service.
Even women who work in factories can use this maternity policy.
Women who adopt or use surrogacy will also get help from this policy. A big Indian company, Mahindra & Mahindra, has made its five-year maternity rule bigger.
They will now help women who adopt or use surrogacy, as reported by ET and confirmed by group official Rujabeh Irani.
What does the five-year maternity policy include?
The new maternity policy offers mothers-to-be more choices for work.
They can work flexibly for 6 months or have a mix of office and remote work for 24 months, but their manager must agree.
They also get one week of required maternity leave. Mr. Irani explained that they made a plan that covers five years.
It includes one year before having a baby, one year when becoming a mother, and then three years after becoming a mother.
This rule will bring more women
Asha Kharga, who is the Chief Brand Officer, said that in our industry, we want to encourage more women to join, and our new maternity policy is a key part of this effort.
The goal of this policy is to give strong help to women during these five years.
What the five-year policy offers
This change is for female employees who have important roles, including those who work on the shop floor.
The goal is to bring and keep more talented women in an industry where men are the majority.
Additionally, the policy offers a 75 percent discount on IVF treatment, daily transportation, and support for pregnant women for one year, including better travel options in the last three months of pregnancy.
How long is the holiday?
The company will let women employees take a break from work for one year without pay if they want to take care of their child.
However, this is only for those who have worked at the company for 36 months.
The company is also providing a policy to help women with their careers when they come back to work after maternity leave.
