Last week, we launched HUL’s Foster and Kinship Caregiver Leave Policy- our latest effort to build an inclusive and equitable workplace. We are extending our care philosophy to cater to diverse familial arrangements. This industry-first program recognizes the importance of supporting all family structures. Employees fostering a child or acting as a legal guardian can now access 4 weeks of leave – available to caregivers of all genders. This, combined with our existing 20+ equitable policies, empowers employees to manage personal and professional commitments with flexibility and takes us one step closer to building a more equitable and supportive workplace for all.

This is so outstanding to see Anuradha Razdan. The steady progress HUL is making towards inclusivity is outstanding. Kudos to you and the team.
Brilliant to see this recognition of the huge value of kinship care and foster care, which are fundamental to freeing children from the injustice and harm of institutional care.
Wow! Great initiative! Hope others get inspired by your pioneering efforts Anuradha Razdan ! More power to you!
I am an ex HUL employee and I am always proud of that because the work culture and take care of employees mental well being is excellent
https://www.goodreturns.in/news/layoffs-hul-parent-plans-to-spin-off-8-billion-ice-cream-biz-7-500-people-may-lose-their-jobs-1337349.html HR fraternity should realise that instead of executing these unnecessary and costly shenanigans, they should start focusing on saving jobs in there own company. Layoffs have become companies’s core annual policy and the reason for that can be attributed to these ‘woke’ policies which are only meant for PR consumption as I believe that having a job is much more important than 4 day week, foster care, sex change operation et al.
Such a great initiative for promotion of home based case care, alternative to institutional care that is long demand in the sector. It's a superb cue for fellow corporates to resonate with. This serves two quick goals ;one diverse familial arrangement in pursuit of inclusive policy and two; setting tone for companies for deinstitutionalisaion of children, one of the key principles of #uncrc
Addressing the needs of caregivers, regardless of gender, is crucial for fostering a truly inclusive workplace. This Foster and Kinship Caregiver Leave Policy sets a precedent in the industry, emphasizing the importance of supporting diverse familial arrangements. This initiative not only provides practical support but also sends a powerful message about the company's values and commitment to equity. Excellent initiative
Congratulations Anuradha Razdan for shaping a caregiver-friendly workplace! Delighted to see this and look forward to hear more from you on this! At Caregiver Saathi we believe that #Caregivers need a comprehensive support system - and a significant members of the workforce will have diverse caregiving responsibilities and caregiver leave is definitely a significant first step!

I truly believe that a lot of inequity in the workplace is driven by imbalances in care giving responsibilities. It so great Anuradha Razdan to see HUL take the lead in extending this to diverse family arrangements as well.
