For its female delivery partners, Swiggy has introduced a two-day paid monthly period time-off policy. As a result of opting for the time off, delivery partners will receive a minimum income guarantee.
According to a blog post, Swiggy said it onboarded its first female delivery partner in Pune in 2016 and has been striving to implement inclusivity and diversity across the platform in order to increase the number of women delivery partners on the platform.
“To bring about necessary changes, we ensure to stay cognizant of the challenges our women delivery partners face, especially with respect to access and safety. Creating an environment that encourages women to consider delivering with Swiggy is a priority, and here are some of our recent efforts in that direction,” it added.
“To support them through any menstruation-related challenges, we’ve introduced a no-questions-asked, two-day paid monthly period time-off policy for all our regular female delivery partners. This industry-first initiative gives our female DEs the option to voluntarily take time off during their menstrual cycle and be eligible for a minimum earnings guarantee during that time,” it added further.
