Birthday is a special day for everyone, which they want to celebrate in a special way and with special people. But, it becomes a bit difficult for working people to celebrate their birthday or sometimes people are not able to celebrate their birthday at all.
Because often due to not getting leave, all the plans of the people are ruined. People hardly get leave from office on their birthday. But, a news has come out on social media, after hearing which you will also think that I wish such a policy comes in our company.
In fact, a corporate firm is receiving praise from all quarters for its new “Birthday Plus One” leave policy. In which employees are allowed two days off every year on the occasion of their birthday, one leave for their own birthday and the other to celebrate the birthday of a family member or close friend.
The policy, introduced by the company’s founder Abhijit Chakraborty, is an attempt to address the same, as a refreshing change in corporate culture where work usually takes place ahead of personal celebrations, or perhaps even synchronizes with it. Chakraborty recalls his birthday leave request being rejected early in his career and said an employee should be allowed to celebrate without guilt.
“In one of my early roles, my boss once asked me, ‘Why do you need time off?’ I told him, ‘It’s my birthday.’ He looked at me weirdly, like I had made a mistake,” he wrote on LinkedIn. “If it’s someone’s birthday, they should get a gift, not have their leave cut and be treated weirdly.”
As soon as the company announced the move, the post went viral online, where most people praised the firm for its progressive approach to work-life balance when they celebrate a holiday that falls on the birthday of one’s child or family member.
Chakraborty’s post also reflects the company’s commitment to creating a friendly workplace. He said that as the company grows, it is likely that birthday-related holidays will increase, which will increase the company’s dedication to employee happiness and personal achievements.
