Flipkart extends policy of 'work from home’

Given the pandemic condition all over, these are the days of 'work from home' where employers give this facility to their employees to be safe and sound.

Taking the cue in the right earnest, E-commerce giant Flipkart has extended its 'work from home' policy for its 12,000 employees till May 31, next year.

Based on the assessment of the current situation, the Walmart-owned firm has extended the 'phase-2 of the back to office plan' till the end of May next year, according to an internal email sent by the company to its employees. Earlier the 'work from home policy' was extended by the company till December.

'Over the last several months, we have shown great resilience and character in dealing with the pandemic while adapting to altogether new ways of working, collaborating and staying optimistic,' said Krishna Raghavan, chief people officer at Flipkart, in a letter addressed to the employees.

The entire leadership team couldn't be more proud of the outstanding spirit and positivity that you have demonstrated.' The teams that have been coming to the Flipkart office on a roster basis will continue to do so.

The Bengaluru-based firm has urged the rest of the staff to continue working from home unless there is a critical need to come to the office.
