Pune-based media organisation Webmag India Pvt Ltd has announced a policy offering an optional menstrual leave for its female employees. This move, notes a communique, has come after Culture Machine decided to implement the menstrual leave policy to make the organisation more women-friendly.
Webmag India, publishers of Pune365.com, claims it is the first organisation within Pune to implement such a policy. Webmag founders Jaisurya Das and Shailesh Amonkar firmly believe that this will go a long way in sensitising organisations and the public at large on understanding the discomfort that women may go through during their periods. “We honestly believe that this option must be given with no questions asked and we hope that more companies will join us in adopting this provision,†said Das.
