Swiggy announces permanent work-from-anywhere policy: Who will have to come to office, and not

Swiggy, one of the country’s leading on-demand delivery platform, has extended its Future of Work Policy. The company has announced a permanent work-from-anywhere for majority of roles. Swiggy says that the decision was made based on team needs and feedback from several managers and employees who are vouched for the flexibility and increased productivity that working from home has offered in the past two years. Today, Swiggsters, as Siggy employees are called, are working out of 487 cities in 27 States and 4 UTs across the country, as per the company.
How will the work-from-anywhere policy work at Swiggy
Under the new policy, the corporate, central business functions and technology teams will continue to work remotely and converge once every quarter at their base location for a week to promote in-person bonding. Swiggly claims that the the first such meeting of the quarter was held in June 2022 and was a huge success with teams coming together after almost two years. Employees in partner-facing roles are, however, required to work from the office for a few days a week from their base locations.
“At the core of our Future of Work is Flexibility. Our focus was to enable employees with as much flexibility in their work life within the contours of their job. We observed global and local talent trends while also having our ears to the ground listening to the pulse from employees, managers and leaders. This led us to introducing ‘work from anywhere’ as a permanent option for employees giving them the convenience of flexible cycles of work and leisure wherever they may be,” said Girish Menon, HR head at Swiggy.
“We will continue to actively invest in reimagining employee experience, innovations in work and workplace experience to build a truly remote-first organization,” Menon added.
