This Indian Company Fines Employees Rs 1 Lakh for Disturbing Co-workers on Leave

The new era where finding peace is just next to impossible, a well deserved break can help you alot to destress yourself. Oftentimes we don’t get the deserving break that we require, the urgent calls, meeting, deadlines, texts and emails keeps our mind occupied. To solve this problem an Indian Firm has introduced a clause in its company policy that makes their staff liable to pay Rs.1 Lakh if they’re found guilty of disturbing their co-workers on their leaves. This idea’s sole purpose is to let the employees be hassle free on the leaves.
Indian fantasy sports platform Dream 11 is the company that has adopted an interesting policy called the “Dream 11 Unplug” to solve this problem.Under this “UNPLUG” policy, the company’s staff can completely cut off from all office work, related conversations (on emails, WhatsApp group, Slack, or calls), and co-workers for a week without any pressure.
The company wrote about this policy “At Dream11, we actually log off the ‘Dreamster’ who is unplugged, off from every possible Stadium communication platform, be it slack, emails and even WhatsApp groups. We do this to ensure absolutely no one from the Dreamster’s work ecosystem can contact them while they are on their well-deserved break.”
Dream 11 founders Harsh Jain and Bhavit Seth asserted that they have adopted this principle to make sure their company is not reliant on either one of them. And added “”We understand that spending quality time with loved ones or just relaxing altogether on a vacation, can immensely improve the overall mood, quality of life, productivity in general and more”.
